STOP AND CHECK: A little outdated, and can impede the progress of the lesson. Stopping pupils for a plenary when some were ready two minutes ago and others are not quite there yet. Giving new instructions to groups can feel like an interruption. Finding yourself running round repeating the same thing to four or five pupils, keeping some waiting until you can get to them. Idea 1: At start of task, give them to ‘known high flyers’ with an additional task/challenge/role. Idea 2: Patrol and give cards discreetly to those needing extra challenge or becoming lead learners. Idea 3: Cards can represent particular feedback. ‘Use more connectives/key words/show working’ etc. 2

Higher order questioning Approach 1 The teacher asks a student if they would like to accept, challenge or extend the answer of another student. The student decides and does one of the above, ensuring that if they accept they explain why. Approach 2 The teacher asks selected students certain questions related to A, C or E. e.g. do you accept what child A said, why/why not? Approach 3 During peer assessment students state whether they accept the work as it is and explain why, challenge the answers given by asking them a question such as why do you think… or I actually think this… can you explain why you’re right? Or they ask a question to extend the answer given. Who should be managing challenge: pupils or staff? Does providing ‘support’ promote challenge? 5
