During this workshop, we'll explore:

• How to ask questions that encourage deeper thinking and understanding.
• The difference between open, closed and leading questions.
• Why listening is often more important than asking another question.
• How to recognise when questioning becomes counterproductive.
• Different methods of giving meaningful, constructive feedback.
• How to encourage learners to evaluate their own performance.
• How to develop greater learner responsibility and independence.

This isn't about memorising lists of coaching questions or learning complicated teaching models.

We'll use realistic driving situations, interactive activities and group discussions to discover how small changes in communication can make a big difference to learning.

You'll leave with practical techniques you can use on your very next driving lesson.
