Note answers to these points on the flipchart or blackboard. Remember to demonstrate good questioning and handling responses yourself.
Remind participants to think about their own practice and to suggest specific points that can be observed by anybody. Some questions that you can raise which will encourage participants to think are:
* What do your questions generally start with – What, Who, When, Why, Where, Did, Can etc? Does this need any improvement?
* Do you tend to answer your own questions?
* Do you look for specific answers after posing a question?
* How long do you wait for before asking the next question or making the next statement?
* How do you encourage shy pupils to answer?
* How do you manage same pupils answering most questions?
* When a pupil responds to your question, do you give feedback immediately or follow it up with another question?
