Knowing the learning styles of your students

Hi Sarah - That's really true - in a large auditorium class there is really no way to assess everyone's style, so we just need to mix up our delivery as often as possible. Thanks - Susan

Knowing the learning styles of your students

Hi Maureen - I suppose there are some teachers who do this totally in every lesson, but I agree they have got to be exhausted!! So, just try to use as much variety as possible and that'll be great. Susan

Keeping focused during questioning sessions

Hi Ralph- I think it also strengthens students' learning because incremental questions lead students through a thinking process to get to the final solution. Best wishes - Susan

Hi Thomas - Thanks for your post to the forum. That is indeed the purpose of CATs. They make student (and us) aware of what they do and do not know. Best wishes- Susan
