Take a look, as it is well worth your time. I heard him speak on Saturday at Marist Sisters Woolwich he asks ALL teachers to get our students "To make answers NOT find answers" and avoid mental softness. If you are short of time putting a lesson together but still want a great learning outcome try his Slam Dunk lessons http://questioning.org/jan06/notime.html or try his Power Learning modules http://www.fnopress.com/PLOZ
There is a link on his Slam Dunk lessons to http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/itmrls under Search options look at some of the questions that have been posed e.g. under Writing one of the questions posed is "If you could only save one book which book would you save"
