Information retention isn't always immediately apparent with the use of CATs and other evaluation methods you can help see what areas and level of understanding your students possess. Which helps you to further tailor the learning experience and give opportunities to develop the habit of advanced thought through application assessments by testing their knowledge via performance.

I find that questions can serve many purposes in the classroom by enhancing the learning experience from furthering conversation and engagement to redirecting disruptive students. This definitely helps to broaden my perspective on how to effectively use questions within my students. 

By using multiple type of learning styles to complete lessons you can boost retention rates by 10-15 % by engaging in the student's preferred method of learning. It also allows other students to expand the way they learn by using methods other than visual or auditory to become more well-rounded.

My biggest take away is that is a multifaceted job that requires we lead by example as what the students should expect to behave like is determined by our representation of ourselves and field.
