'Questions create thinking conditions, which means they create learning conditions.' This brilliant book by Bruce Robertson shows us just how this is done. He masterfully weaves the evidence-informed ideas of edu-greats into pedagogy that teachers can incorporate into daily practices and discusses '20 key messages that all teachers and school leaders really need to know'. Robertson translates these key messages into actionable steps that provide insight into common pitfalls, power-up prompts, deeper-thinking questions, and trusted techniques. Furthermore, he gives us 10 recommended steps to get the most out of the book; it is as if he hands us a lesson plan to ensure that the 'quality of our questions promote desirable thinking' through the use of self-reflection and coaching. Robertson states, 'Becoming a questioning expert takes years of deliberate practice and refinement.' Power Up Your Questioning not only speeds up the process of becoming a questioning expert, but it also stands as a reminder for experienced teachers, a blueprint for coaches, observable techniques for leaders, and most importantly, an avenue of lasting learning for our students. 'Great teaching .

is about eliciting rigorous evidence of where students are in their learning and responding accordingly.' Bruce Robertson artfully elicits evidence of where we are as teachers and guides us accordingly to become powerful questioning experts.
