The positive impact of questioning on pupils’ learning

Throughout the school, teachers’ and learning support assistants’ use of questioning is highly effective. They skilfully ask a range of questions that help them to illicit pupils’ understanding, gauge their progress and identify any misconceptions. They respond to pupils thoughtfully, providing them with swift and beneficial feedback and clarification and they adapt the next steps in pupils’ learning accordingly. Overall, pupils listen carefully to the feedback they receive, appreciate it and use it to move their learning forward successfully.
