  What if the best ruler was the one you’d never notice? 
  In Statesman, Plato moves past the question of what law is—and asks who is truly fit to rule. Through the philosophical dialogue between Socrates’ companions and the Eleatic Stranger, we are taken on an intricate journey into political thought: the role of knowledge in leadership, the tension between law and judgment, and the rare individual capable of weaving justice into the fabric of society. 
  This modern audiobook adaptation captures the intellectual richness of Plato’s original while offering a clear and compelling experience for today’s listeners. 
  What you’ll discover inside: 
  •	The philosophical foundation of true political authority and leadership 
  •	Why Plato believes wisdom—not popularity—is the mark of the true ruler 
  •	The famous weaving analogy: blending gentleness and courage into the soul of the statesman 
  •	A clear and modern translation that reveals the relevance of Statesman to today’s world 
  Step beyond politics as usual and explore a vision of leadership guided by reason, character, and justice.

  Foreword by John Hattie.
  Questioning is a staple feature of a teacher's toolkit across all phases of education. Classrooms are awash with explanation, modelling and feedback, but of all the pedagogical strategies at a teacher's disposal, questioning is one of the most important. It is the heartbeat of a classroom. While the art of asking a question seems relatively straightforward, to what extent do teachers consider the types of questions they're using? Are the questions they ask students actually helping to support learning? InPowerful Questioning,Michael Chiles delves into the complexity of asking questions and how best to use this pedagogical tool as a powerful springboard to support learning in the classroom.
  Teachers are described by many as 'professional question-askers' and the use of questioning in the teaching and learning process dates back to one of the most influential users and developers of questions, the Greek philosopher Socrates. Socrates believed that by asking questions we encourage reflection, and that their use is most effective when we create a continual loop of dialogue between the asker and the receiver, to allow movement from surface to deeper level thinking.Powerful Questioningtakes inspiration from this, providing original theory that relates back to the historical use of questioning in the classroom throughout.
  Offering a fresh perspective on how questioning can be engineered to support effective learning,Powerful Questioningexamines the reasons behind the questions we ask and reveals the power of asking the right questions, in the right way, at the right time. It details a set of core principles, recommendations and classroom-based practical examples that can be used to implement powerful questioning both in the classroom and wider school.
  Michael's aim is to help teachers become research-informed on the theories around the use of questioning in the classroom, whilst also providing a wide range of practical classroom-based strategies. Readers will take away specific examples from a broad range of case studies in which teachers at different phases of education (from Key Stages one to five) share how they use questioning to improve learning and retention.
  Essential reading for all teachers and school leaders.
