Editor's Notes
- There are many ways to ask a question and some ways are better than others. Thinking about the types of questions that could be asked or even preparing specific questions prior to teaching a lesson will often lead to more effective classroom discussions. It is important to think of thoughtful questions that encourage learners to think critically about the concept being learned. In order to be successful at effectively questioning learners, teachers and trainers must be aware of the type of questions they are directing to the students and use effective questioning practices. This applies equally to tasks given to learners to take away.
