Description

No matter what you teach, there is a 100 Ideas title for you! The 100 Ideas series offers teachers practical, easy-to-implement strategies and activities for the classroom. Each author is an expert in their field and is passionate about sharing best practice with their peers. Each title includes at least ten additional extra-creative Bonus Ideas that won't fail to inspire and engage all learners. Questioning is key to effective teaching and learning, yet practical questioning strategies that are immediately useable in the classroom can be hard to come by. 100 Ideas for Primary Teachers: Questioning presents practical strategies, games and activities not only to help teachers improve their own questioning in the classroom, but also to allow pupils to develop an understanding of how they too can ask effective questions to develop their learning. Using philosophical approaches including ownership, authenticity, balance and Socratic principles, Peter Worley, co-founder of The Philosophy Foundation, provides guidance and ideas on how questioning can help pupils reach the next step and activate their own thinking. He also encourages teachers to reflect on their practice and the effect of questioning on children's progress. The ideas in this book are applicable to all subjects in a primary teacher's curriculum and are ideal for establishing good questioning strategies and a solid understanding of this core element of teaching.

Peter Worley, co-founder of The Philosophy Foundation, presents 100 practical strategies, games and activities not only to help teachers improve their own questioning in the classroom, but also to allow pupils to develop an understanding of how they too can ask effective questions to develop their learning.

Reviews
Peter Worley offers us a supercharged insight into questioning strategies and mindsets. Teachers will appreciate this crisp distillation of his most influential and practical ideas. This book is a crash course in becoming a more deliberative and deft facilitator of enquiry. -- Michelle Sowey, Director, The Philosophy Club, Australia
If you were to merge the training of an academic philosopher with the passion of our most inspirational teachers, then you'd create Peter Worley. This, his latest creation, is quite simply a beauty of a book: one that will guide and inspire you, and lead to ever more engaging, thought-provoking experiences for your learners. -- James Nottingham, teacher, author, and creator of The Learning Pit
The invention - for that is what it is - of the concept of open questioning mindset (OQM) is a remarkable contribution, not just to the pedagogy of philosophical inquiry with children but to good pedagogy in any context. In an unassuming, but extremely elegant, way, Peter Worley has matched the much more famous pedagogical contribution, 'growth mindset', of Carol Dweck. Indeed, it could be argued that a teacher who models and encourages OQM contributes more directly to a child's intellectual growth than one who models and encourages growth mindset. At any rate, a child might be more likely to become a fully self-directed learner through developing an OQM of her own, than merely developing a growth mindset. For it could be through - and only through - the practice of OQM that one might develop the capacity, in the metaphor of Plutarch, to 'light the fire of learning' in and for oneself. -- Roger Sutcliffe, Founding Member of SAPERE
I would like to become a really good questioner and develop a questioning classroom. So, how can I learn to ask just the right question? What strategies can I use? Look no further than Peter Worley's new book on Questioning. Based on a wealth of experience, this introduction to questions and questioning is a cornucopia of ideas for the busy primary teacher, with the bonus of teaching tips and further suggestions that you can return to time and again. My advice to primary school teachers: get hold of this book and have it at your fingertips as you plan your lessons and work with your class. -- Dr Philip Cam, Adjunct Associate Professor, University of New South Wales, and author of '20 Thinking Tools'
A great book [...] Questioning forms a huge part of my teacher training across the UK. [There is] tons of stuff I'm going to use in here for my own research and my own teacher training. -- Ross Morrison McGill, @TeacherToolkit
This short text would be of value to any member of staff who is interested in developing a deeper understanding of the ways that questioning can activate children's thinking and imagination. -- Mary Mountstephen * SEN Magazine *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.
