Purposeful Questioning Masterclass
Bringing learner and curriculum together through questioning, improving outcomes and engagement.
“Learning begins with questions, and how we model questioning for our learners defines the quality of their learning.”
— Lee Crockett
Do you want to drive deep learning and improve outcomes? In this Masterclass, we will guide you to ask questions so powerful and purposeful that you will engage, lead and steer your learners, propelling them to achieve outcomes faster and at a higher level.
This Masterclass will build your capacity to guide learners through purposeful questioning. Questions that drive valuable and relevant learning journeys are more meaningful, but they are also critical for deep learning and cultivating the essential understandings at the foundation of the curriculum.
“Students are really owning their learning. They are able to explore concepts at a deeper level and learning is much more personalised.”
— Mary A.

How does the Purposeful Questioning Masterclass work?
The Purposeful Questioning Masterclass is hosted live by best-selling author and international education expert Lee Crockett. Each session is carefully crafted to scaffold critical concepts and build upon the prior learning to ensure your success.
Following each session is a challenge guided by Kathleen Baker-Brown, Master Teacher and Director of Future Focused Learning for Australasia. The challenges put into practice the learning shared in a community of teachers worldwide engaged together in this Masterclass.
You can learn at your own pace and on your own schedule with video replays or participate live through:

Office hours. Hosted live to answer your questions and workshop our themes. Anyone is welcome to join and bring your wonderings.
