A fantastic course with great ideas for effective questioning and reflective practice, some great ideas on fostering a growth mindset thus contributing to effective teaching and learning and a positive environment where failure is not failure but an opportunity for the student to learn- well done Rahoo for such a wonderful and engaging course packed with practical strategies.
