Cold Calling

Seen by many in education as the ‘go to’ strategy for high quality questioning, Cold Call ensures that ALL your students have to think deeply because they don’t know who is going to be asked to answer your questions.

Mini Whiteboards

Mini whiteboards are the best way to find out what everyone in the class thinks/knows at any given moment in time, rather than what just one student knows by using traditional questioning.

Questioning

Questioning is the most powerful and frequently used tool in our armoury as teachers, but on so many occasions we don’t use it as effectively as we could.

Mental Truancy

Far too often in lessons, students can begin to daydream or switch off for periods of time. The problem is, we can’t physically see inside a students’ head to tell us when this is about to happen.

Wait Time

If we really want students to think hard, then we need to provide them with the time to do it.
