It is important to support pupils to provide right or valid answers to any questions that they are asked. When pupil responses include ‘I’m not sure’ or ‘I don’t know’, it is essential that action is taken to develop confidence and understanding. In these cases, you should adapt your approach to questioning to ensure that the sequence ends with the pupil providing a right or valid answer to the question that you initially posed. It may be appropriate to ask the question in a different way, or to model the answer and ask the pupil to repeat it after you. You may also find it helpful to ask another pupil the question and then ask the initial pupil to repeat the answer. In some cases, it may be possible to deconstruct the question and in doing so ‘chunk’ the content that you are discussing to enable the pupil to find the answer. Similarly, other pupils can be called upon to provide cues and prompts, and the initial pupil can then use these to find the answer to the question that you originally posed. These questioning approaches ensure the highest expectations of pupil involvement as it significantly reduces their ability to opt out of your questioning.
