2. Consider the use of a Question Matrix

3. Strengths Weaknesses SWOT Threats Opportunities
****Resources - large flip sheet for BC and post it notes. Pritt stick. A3 sheets for CLs.
Split into 4 groups with each grp focusing on 1 SWOT.
What are the strengths of question matrix. How will it support learning?
How can we address our weaknesses effectively|?
How can we ensure we take advantage of our opportunities?
How can we anticipate threats and develop strategies for turning them into opportunities?

4. Randomised Questioning
Many schools adopted ‘lollipops’ for randomising questioning but how many TAs understand why it is a useful tool? VIDEO – to be included in training presentation for TAs.

7. Bloom’s Taxonomy ...
Knowledge – At this lowest level is the straightforward remembering of previously learned material, which can be demonstrated by the recall of dates, events and places, facts, basic concepts of the world and answers.
Comprehension – Understanding the meaning of remembered material comes in at this level and evidence is usually demonstrated by being able to explain something in one’s own words. Interpretation of the knowledge is the key principle.
Application – Here the individual is able to use information in a new context to solve a problem, to answer a question, or to perform another task. Applying knowledge, facts, techniques and rules in a different way is in the realm of application.
Analysis – Breaking a piece of material into its parts and explaining the relationship between the parts. To infer and to find evidence to support the inference.
Synthesis – Using old ideas to create new ones. Putting parts together to form a new pattern or structure. This is how new ideas emerge – building on the foundation of what has gone before.
Evaluation – This is the highest level of Bloom’s taxonomy and is the realm of appraisal; where judgments are made about new ideas. This is where the validity of ideas and the quality of work is checked.
For own reference ....
The higher levels include all of the cognitive (thinking) skills from the lower levels.
