Ask a question from your peers to help you in your professional work. Seek different points of view on a topic that interests you. Start a thought-provoking conversation about a hot, current topic. Encourage your peers to join you in the discussion, and feel free to facilitate the discussion.

Questioning

I have found that it is important to ask many questions throughout class to ensure the students are understanding the topic and for class participation. Some students have extreme amonts of knowledge that they have gained or have and may not share unless questioned.

Learning Styles

I am now starting to learn the importance of gathering the students learning styles throughout each class in order to implement the correct variety of learning experiences.

Forming questions

I am convinced about the importance in asking good questions. But my problem is this: I can't think of any good impromptu questions to ask (when I have time to create questions, that's different). So my questions are two-fold: 1. How can I grow in being able to ask better impromptu questions? 2. What has been the best method in creating questions? How do you come up with a "good" question?

learning styles

Wow. this was a great one. Most teachers teach the way they learn. This does not always work out so good, because some students get left behind. Learning to teach to all four styles listed helped me focus on how to better convey the information.
