Quality
Questioning
NO HANDS UP
This technique encourages the expectation
that all pupils should have an answer. This rule can completely change
the dynamic in the classroom. Unless specifically asked, pupils know not
to put their hands up if they know the answer to a question. All pupils
are expected to be able to answer at any time, even if it is ‘I don’t
know’.Pupils cannot avoid being asked by not
putting up their hand.
Classroom discussions are often dominated
by a few individuals but when no hands are shown everyone has an equal
opportunity and an equal responsibility.
