This course explores two core aspects in depth: highly effective classroom talk and the development of advanced questioning. It provides an excellent next step for teachers who have attended our Cambridge Active learning and Assessment for Learning course.
What will I learn?
Under the guidance of an experienced Cambridge trainer, you will explore:
- What are effective talk and questioning and can they improve learning?
- What are the different types of talk and questioning and how do we teach them?
- Talk and questioning in practice: how can they be used to accelerate the progress of all learners?
- How will I know if talk and questioning have had an impact?
All Cambridge Enrichment courses focus on giving you practical ideas based on academic research. You will have plenty of time to ask questions and share ideas.
Who is this course for?
This course is designed for teachers at secondary or senior level, or school leaders who would like to develop their understanding and effectiveness in these areas.
We recommend this course for teachers who are already familiar with the principles of Assessment for Learning.
