Effective questioning lies at the heart of great teaching. The types of questions we ask can either open doors for pupils’ thinking or limit their opportunities to engage more deeply with learning.
In a classroom setting, procedural, convergent, and divergent questions are used to guide learning and assess understanding. Procedural questions focus on processes and steps, convergent questions have a limited range of correct answers, and divergent questions encourage multiple perspectives and creative thinking.
This staff meeting starter encourages staff to consider the questions they ask and use on a day to day basis to ensure they meet the needs of teaching and learning for all.
