It is really important to set expectations at the very start of class. In doing so you avoid multiple questions about simple things. Make sure you are prepared at all times and also carry a notepad to write down anything that may arrise.

While time consuming, I like the idea of reading all essay questions first before grading the students

Keep an open mind that everyone's opinion and contribution to building collaborative learning is important.  Opinions matter, and they can be different. This helps to bring respect and trust.  I believe this will foster growth and provide an opportunity to expand on different teaching methods.

Asking students to post questions anonymously on Mentimeter or another type of polling app avoids the question "are there any questions".  I sprinkle this in very infrequently as I want to encourage dialogue in class rather than through their phones.

I feel this section of the course is a bit outdated as it fails to cover the huge impact that social media, and online discussion sites such as Discourse and Whats App, now has on our student body.  However, guiding students to use internet resources appropriately to enhance their learning is important.

Opening and closing activities are really important!  An opener that engages the students will excite them about the class and a closer that helps them reflect on what they've learned and how it applies to their career will bolster their confidence in their ability to learn and apply new concepts.

There are more variations in teaching methods utilized in the Flipped Classroom.  This is effective and comes with a lot of complaints from some students because they say they feel like they are teaching themselves.  What most don't understand is that they are actually learning.  Flipping the classroom depends on the instructor's technical skills and the level of assistance needed.

Teachers in early education are interacting often and explaining with repeated information to the students, and when watching, you can observe the drive that the young student has to know more.  A great opportunity for the Teacher to develop questions, and when they understand, the children climb the stairs of knowledge.  I love to see this enthusiasm.

Before asking the question figure out what you are looking for in the response. Consider asking a follow up question to dig deeper and truly test the understanding of the student.

Making sure you give the students time to come up with a good well formulated answer is key to asking questions.
