SHARE or DARE
Don’t do anything until the students ask you a question
Do we want to see lessons in which the students ask more questions than the
teacher?Do we need to teach students to ask
questions?
The Power of the Single Word
•Do teachers really talk too much?
Science Department
•Do teachers really talk too much?•How much feedback is useful?•Magenta Principles for classroom
management?
How many questions can you get students to ask?
What worked.Many opportunities in theory to test, share, extend, consolidate knowledge and differentiate.Works for analysis of performance and works for game set ups rather than pupils switching off when teachers give long explanations.
What didn’t work.Work on skill development. Pupils not knowledgeable enough. Would work better with elite performers who have detailed knowledge of expected outcomes.
Points to notePupils are not used to these strategies, especially in practical lessons and need coaching to improve the outcomes.Does engage pupils and limits teacher talk. PE Department
Is ‘feeding up’ key to supporting students in asking questions?
Ask the students to set the lesson objective
• Could be developed over time.
• Students understand Blooms if introduced to them.
• Would be worth sticking with as increases reflectiveness and focus on the learning.
• Vague LOs show that students get the gist of the lesson but more specific measureable LOs will allow students to focus more and in affect create their own success criteria.
Comms. Department
Why do students see learning as task related?
No teacher talk
Drama Department
How do we view and work with these?
Ofsted Descriptors of Quality of Teaching Schools
Outstanding:
‘Teachers and other adults authoritatively impart knowledge to ensure students are engaged in learning, and generate high levels of commitment to learning across the school’
Good:
‘Teachers and other adults create a positive climate for learning in their lessons
and pupils are interested and engaged’
Start at the end of the lesson and work backwards
Computing Department
When is the best time to share model answers and success criteria as part of the
feed-up process?
Greet the students in a different way
Picture to come…Teacher greeting students in a silly hat decorated with the lesson’s key words
Tech Department
Why is surprise a good way to begin a lesson?
Is changing your routines important?
Ask only questions that include a contrast
Geography Department
How good are we at asking questions which allow us to listen interpretively?
Give only whole class or individual feedback
History Department
Do students ever listen to verbal whole class feedback? Or do they believe that the comments refer to someone else –
rather than them?
Ask only 3 questions in any one lesson

How can we create an environment in which students embrace the F-word (failure) ?

How could your displays be used to show more than just final outcomes?
