I was asked to put together a presentation for staff to explain the importance of higher level questioning and give some examples of approaches and activities to encourage it. The powerpoint does just that! This was followed up with further training sessions and now I lead a SWG for stretch and challenge. Please feel free to contact me if you would like further explanation of any activities or further examples. I have not been able to upload the Question Generator but can send this to you separately. Also included, a self assessment sheet and notes to go with the powerpoint. Additionally, the slides contained structured questions relevant to the subject, within the Academy I teach at, all subject areas produced a specific one. The idea being that students get more used to higher order questioning and encourages better peer questioning, teachers have a visual aid - often useful if being observed.

This PowerPoint is aimed at students and can form part of the taught delivery.

I use these Tracking and Targeting sheets with my 6th Form Students. They transfer the comments that I have made on their work onto their tracking sheets. The idea is that the students and I can easily track what they need to do in order to move in. This can be kept at the front of their files, or in may case I keep these in an folder attached to the wall - easy for me and my students to access. I also ask them to look at their tracking sheet before they start the next essay/LAQ and write the target at the top of the work - to focus them!

This provides a 1 hour plus start to Psychology develops the ideas of the methodology of psychologists and in particular approaches, and psychopathology.

I have a 3 taster sessions, this is the 2nd (all uploaded).

This PowerPoint is aimed at students and aims to launch the EPQ process to students. It goes through the process from start to finish, concentrating more fully on the early stages such as choosing topic areas, how the course is structured it. The word document follows the launch and is for students to brainstorm on and work on, before the next lesson, when we share ideas and discuss whether some may be more or less viable.
