A downside: not many references but the content makes good sense. sites.google.com Here's the school's introductory page: thewinchesterschool.com From my work with ESOL and EFL teachers, Gulf State schools set standards equal to those in the UK.

swittle May 2020 2:58pm, 14 May 2020 63,661 posts	Quote Pin swittle When deciding what sort of questioning to use, number of students or participants, range of attainment and where questioning features in the 'flow' of the lesson/input are useful to bear in mind. Open questions can and do give a jumping off point for either spontaneous or structured exploration or discussion - these can be a gold mine for assessment for and of learning. In addition, this can relieve the 'teacher-to-student' pressure - and the peer pressure - of a question being put.
