  • Powerful Questioning: Strategies for improving learning and retention in the classroom

    Powerful Questioning: Strategies for improving learning and retention in the classroom by Michael Chiles is an evidence-based examination of the power of questioning in the classroom and how it can be improved.

    Foreword by John Hattie.

    Questioning is a staple feature of a teacher’s toolkit across all phases of education. Classrooms are awash with explanation, modelling and feedback, but of all the pedagogical strategies at a teacher’s disposal, questioning is one of the most important. It is the heartbeat of a classroom. While the art of asking a question seems relatively straightforward, to what extent do teachers consider the types of questions they’re using? Are the questions they ask students actually helping to support learning? In Powerful Questioning, Michael Chiles delves into the complexity of asking questions and how best to use this pedagogical tool as a powerful springboard to support learning in the classroom.

    Teachers are described by many as ‘professional question-askers’ and the use of questioning in the teaching and learning process dates back to one of the most influential users and developers of questions, the Greek philosopher Socrates. Socrates believed that by asking questions we encourage reflection, and that their use is most effective when we create a continual loop of dialogue between the asker and the receiver, to allow movement from surface to deeper level thinking. Powerful Questioning takes inspiration from this, providing original theory that relates back to the historical use of questioning in the classroom throughout.

    Offering a fresh perspective on how questioning can be engineered to support effective learning, Powerful Questioning examines the reasons behind the questions we ask and reveals the power of asking the right questions, in the right way, at the right time. It details a set of core principles, recommendations and classroom-based practical examples that can be used to implement powerful questioning both in the classroom and wider school.

    Michael’s aim is to help teachers become research-informed on the theories around the use of questioning in the classroom, whilst also providing a wide range of practical classroom-based strategies. Readers will take away specific examples from a broad range of case studies in which teachers at different phases of education (from Key Stages one to five) share how they use questioning to improve learning and retention.

    Essential reading for all teachers and school leaders.

    Contents include:

    • Introduction: The power of a question
    • Chapter 1: Why do we ask questions?
    • Chapter 2: How do we foster a questioning culture?
    • Chapter 3: Questioning as a mechanism to check for understanding

  • “With a fine disregard…”: A Portrait of Rugby School

    Founded in 1567 by Lawrence Sheriff, Grocer to Queen Elizabeth I, Rugby School grew to national fame under Dr Thomas Arnold in the early nineteenth-century as a model for progressive boarding school education, a model subsequently replicated throughout Britain and Empire.

    Rugby combines an illustrious past with a progressive spirit. Other famous names include the Doctor’s fictional pupil Tom Brown, the legendary founder of rugby football William Webb Ellis, ‘who with a fine disregard for the rules of football as played in his time first took the ball in his arms and ran with it’, and literary luminaries like the poet Rupert Brooke and children’s author Lewis Carroll. Today Rugby maintains many valuable traditions such as the boarding house system, the cultivation of educated all-rounders and service to the community, but it is also seen as a leading coeducational boarding school, offering state-of-the-art facilities in many subjects (languages, science, sport, design) and taking a lead in the development of local inter-school partnership and access, through its Arnold Foundation, to less-well-off boys and girls who can benefit significantly from a boarding school education. Respect for tradition goes hand in hand with response to the needs of the modern world.

    This first full-colour celebration of Rugby School offers a richly illustrated and elegantly produced account of Rugby in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, with, in this case, a fine disregard for the rules of scientific scholarship as developed in our time. A distinctive feature of the book is its emphasis on the first-hand accounts of living Rugbeians of every age and stage – as well as the records of deceased Rugbeians – to give a vividly personal portrayal of School life as it was and is lived day-to-day.

    “This is the first book on Rugby School for 40 years and the response from all those who have bought it or seen it has been tremendous.” Kerry Wilson, Development Director

    • Three Magic Words: The Key to Power, Peace, and Plenty (An Eckhart Tolle Edition)

      A reissue of a groundbreaking self-help classic, revised and updated for modern times

      In recent years, self-help concepts such as positive affirmation, creative visualization, and the Law of Attraction have become part of mainstream American culture, but these ideas are not new. In fact, they were beautifully articulated by U. S. Andersen in Three Magic Words back in 1954. This lost classic has inspired thousands of readers over the years, including bestselling author Eckhart Tolle, who believes that the time is right to reintroduce Three Magic Words to a new generation of readers.

      Three Magic Words contains a simple but profound thesis: we can shape the outer world by shaping our inner thoughts. Instead of being controlled by circumstances, we can become architects of our reality by harnessing the power of consciousness itself. Throughout the book, Andersen helps readers reframe difficult situations and cultivate empowering thoughts. He also delves into related topics, including:

      – Understanding the true relationship between mind and matter
      – Freeing yourself from limiting beliefs
      – Programming your thoughts for success
      – Tapping the power of the subconscious mind
      – Developing your innate intuitive abilities

      Above all, Andersen leaves readers with a potentially life-changing insight: “There is only one mover in all creation and that mover is thought.”

    • A Different View of Curriculum and Assessment for Severe, Complex and Profound Learning Disabilities (Connecting Research with Practice in Special and Inclusive Education)

      A Different View of Curriculum and Assessment links a theoretical pedagogical model with a sympathetic practical model of curriculum and assessment difference for those with PMLD, CLD and SLD.

      Split into two parts, this accessible resource combines theoretical explanations with first-hand accounts of how this works in educational establishments, through the analysis of evidence-based practice carried out in a number of English special (specialist) schools. The expert authors challenge the notion that a national, or common core standards, curriculum, however expertly differentiated, is fit-for-purpose for the PMLD, CLD and SLD populations in any country. A Different View offers cogent and reasoned arguments for considering that irrespective of age, such learners learn differently to their neuro-typical, conventionally developing peers. If they learn differently, this book shows how we should be teaching them differently.

      Reflecting the centrality of process over product, this book will clearly explain how each individual learner might be enabled and facilitated to become the best they can be and do the best they can do, in order to fully realise their potential as equal and independent citizens.
