Thinking Though Quality Questioning provides teachers with an accessible, research-based blueprint for developing student meta-cognitive skills and ensuring that students take responsibility for their own learning.

Each chapter explicates teacher best practice in questioning and relates this to how students think and how they can be trained to manage their own learning.
