Teacher Talk: Five ways to improve questioning
This episode is one of the talks I am sharing on a new YouTube channel this week. The series is called ‘New Teacher Essentials.’ This episode looks at five ways to improve your questioning in the classroom: convey sincerity; leave thinking time; follow up; signal cold call; and open up the ways students can respond.
The five videos that will be shared this week are on the following: confidence, questioning, behaviour, well-being and getting better.
