This course is helpful in providing resources to help staff use questions in their classroom. Most importantly it meets teachers where they are, by providing different options on starting from scratch or adding to what is already happening. It’s appropriate for all educators at different levels in their learning.

I enjoyed this course because it not only gave me ideas for how I want my classroom culture to be different, but also reminded me of some important things that I had forgot about, like “wait time” and the “why?” and “how?” questions we need to be asking our students.
