 * ​**We all ask students questions to assess their understanding of different concepts, but what other types of questions should be part of our pedagogy? This session will provide an overview of several different question styles (convergent, divergent, valuing, etc.) and suggestions for avoiding questioning techniques that can inadvertently turn off student thinking. We will put these ideas to practice by first examining a short video clip from a college science class followed by an opportunity for participants to brainstorm different questions for use in their classes. ||  ||
