Trevor Bond

One of Shannon school’s lead teachers was unable to attend so a senior management teacher attended this session. The principal, lead teacher and deputy principal decided that the questioning models and rubric would be invaluable for extending the students’ thinking and questioning skills. As a result the school is in the process of arranging professional development sessions for term three staff meetings on questioning. Feedback to staff, immediately following the Trevor Bond session, highlighted the need for teachers to examine their present groupings of children and a number of teachers have already implemented change in this area. The deputy principal immediately instigated a number of questioning techniques and strategies into the senior school.
