Pace 2 Minutes is too long

Planning for Questioning On average, teachers ask 2 questions every minute or approx 400 questions per day

Questioning Is the questioning in your school actually challenging students to think deeply?

Wait Time The average wait time that teachers give before accepting an answer is less than 1 second

Probe, challenge and make it tough & uncomfortable

Has differentiation actually been widening the achievement gap?

Have we been putting limits on the achievements of too many students? Differentiation Have we been putting limits on the achievements of too many students?

Have our ‘support’ structures made students freeze in exam halls? More Harm than Good Have our ‘support’ structures made students freeze in exam halls?

Don’t dumb down the learning Teaching to the Top Don’t dumb down the learning

Accelerate Progress Ceilings are for classrooms, not for children…..let children learn to fly

3. Professional Development How is your professional development programme responding?
