Outstanding classroom practice, as identified by the OFSTED 2012 framework, highlight specific criteria that place a significant emphasis on dialogue. Opportunities for pupils to construct understanding in a social context, high quality questioning skills, collaboration on openended, challenging experiences and the need for learning to be driven by pupil-generated questions, are all highlighted as aspects of outstanding classroom practice.
