The Art of Questioning

In the opening lesson of this course we established a simple but powerful equation: better evidence leads to better decisions, which leads to better learning. But what does better evidence actually look like in practice — and how do teachers get it?

The answer, more often than not, begins with a question.

In this module, we will examine what questions are truly for, why so many classroom questions fall short of generating reliable evidence, and how a range of practical strategies can help you hear from every student in the room — not just the usual suspects.

By the end of this module, you will be able to:

The Art of Questioning: Evaluate the difference between questions that cause thinking and questions that simply check recall, and reflect on your current questioning habits to identify practical changes you can make in your next lesson.
