where I researched how to form more
effective questions. Following this

used throughout a variety of my lessons.
As a result, I am now much more effective
at framing questions and understanding
what accounts as a meaningful question.

students engage with throughout my
practicum, I have also greatly improved
my ability to facilitate the discussion of

strategies for fostering effective classroom
discussion attributes and learning
environments, such as a willingness to
engage due to a sense of security and
open-mindedness.
