We have spent a little bit of time this semester in thought about how to communicate with students in the classroom by reading Denton. So far, I have found this book to be really helpful, and even found myself thinking about some of the strategies provided in the book for communicating more effectively with students during Kindergarten Practicum. I recently came across this blog post written by Blair Turner about rhetorical questions that teachers often ask that are not effective, and how to more effectively address students in certain situations. Check it out, it is an interesting read 🙂
