Effective Questioning Strategies for Teaching and Correction

Maths teacher and author, Michael Pershan, joins us on the Tips for Teacher podcast to share his 5 tips:

2. The best feedback is a learning activity, and it’s much better than written feedback on the page (16:28)

3. Get used to asking “what if” after explaining something (31:02)

4. Use partner work as a chance to recruit quiet kids to share their thinking (42:05)

5. End every conversation with the student saying something smart (51:21)
