Getting student participation in questioning sessions

Hi Karen- Welcome to ED 103! Sequential questioning not only helps us to assess understansing as you mention, but it also serves to help students "connect the dots". The student may sometimes have grasped part of a process or concept but does not yet have the full picture. Sequential questioning can help with that. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career and Happy New Year! Susan
