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 le...

Book Summary: This is a short book of short stories (and one novelette) of mixed genre. The genre range goes from occult/horror, to murder/horror, to near-future/speculative, to something that may (or may not) be speculative. If there is such a thing, the latter may be tongue-in-cheek speculative, or perhaps food-for-thought speculative. Whatever they may be catagorized as, they are intended to be just for fun. The horror stories in this book are not the splatter type of horror that we are so often confronted with today. It is merely the type of horror for the unjaded palate.

Education is a hot-button political issue across the globe. It is seen as a crucial factor in ensuring economic productivity and competitiveness and in generating social mobility and tackling social inequality--but are these goals feasible or compatible? Focusing on education policy in the United Kingdom, Stephen J. Ball, in this fully updated third edition of The Education Debate, guides us through the flood of government initiatives and policies of the past twenty years. Ball looks at how policy interventions have changed the landscape and meaning of education, turned children into "learners" and parents into "consumers," and played their part in the reformation of contemporary governance.
