It can be hard to find education books where the majority of the
content can be utilised in practical PE. With this book it is not
the case, each chapter has a clear explanation of the research
behind the idea, a practical idea, a worked example (with handy QR
codes) and a template for use to plan your own implementation of
the strategies. This makes it relevant and impactful.
*Miss A Smyth, Trust Wide Subject Lead for Physical Education,
David Ross Education Trust*
Many people think they know all about questioning just by the high
volume that they ask each day without really knowing about the
process.
*Kaye MacIver, Regional Director of Learning, Vietnam and Thailand,
International Schools Partnership Limited*
A no-nonsense approach to teaching and to effective questioning.
This book is not just for teachers. Trainees, NQTs, Cover
supervisors and LSAs will find Ross's methods invaluable on their
day-to-day job. Everyone has a lot to win and learn from this.
*Andrea Ramalhete, former cover supervisor and current trainee
teacher*
Ross cuts through the noise of an extensive evidence base to
provide yet another compelling and practicable guide to one of the
most powerful tools at a teacher’s disposal – a must-read for any
teacher.
*Dr Martin Rigby, Deputy Principal, Runshaw College*
All teachers must read this book. Questioning should be a major
tool in our teaching toolkit and this book is full of strategies to
increase both hard thinking and student engagement.
*Maria Bateson, KS5 Science Lead, The Charter School East

Great professional development resource for new educators and
experienced educators alike. This guide to questioning explores the
how and the why as well as providing clear worked models, examples,
and templates... An easy read from start to finish and chapters of
interest can easily be visited, an important factor for busy
educators.
*Kelly Nicholson, Curriculum Manager and Advanced Teaching
Practitioner in Further Education*
‘I’m just finishing my second year ECT and I wish I had this book
at the beginning of my teacher training journey. The way that it
explains not only how but why has given me a whole new appreciation
for getting the most out of my students using these questioning
techniques. As I take over lead of my subject I will be embedding
many of these ideas into my lessons going forward next year...
Another brilliant addition to my Teacher Toolkit library!’
*Trish Duncan, Lead of Careers and Business, Highworth Warneford

Absolutely delighted with this book... Clear, concise and easy to
read as ever. We will be using this as our questioning 'bible'
moving forward.

practice.
*Mrs Jane Dunnett, Deputy Headteacher, The Robert Napier

Ross has added yet another must-read for teachers to further
enhance one of the most important, and most taken for granted
strategies in the teacher toolkit - questioning. This book provides
a concise analysis of the evidence base before taking the reader
through a methodical approach to enable them to trial questioning
techniques in the classroom with ease.
*Jamie Watkinson, Assistant Principal at John Leggott College*
There are plenty of good ideas that can be used directly in the
classroom. Equally helpful is the structure provided in the book to
help support each technique.
*Warren Rodricks, Head of Assessment at the Harrodian School*
This book - with its illustrations and worked examples - will allow
teachers to consider these ideas; plan which students, classes and
lessons or topics will suit questioning styles best and hopefully
ensure that all students feel involved in the thinking and
knowledge development which brings learning to life.
*Rebecca Moody, Assistant SENCO and English teacher, The Holmesdale

process of questioning more effective and impactful.
*Jon Wyse, Elite Sport Manager at Loughborough College*
It is refreshing to be offered solutions by an expert who 'just
gets it'... This book will help to embed a staunch questioning
culture, refine practice, increase challenge, reduce threat and
strengthen pupil understanding. Every educator should own a copy of
this book.

teachers to people like myself who've been in education for many,
many years.

efficiently check for and deepen understanding. I cannot wait to
plan professional development for our teachers using the “bringing
it all together” section, of course!
