People learn most effectively when they are trying to answer their own questions

How do they prepare to teach?

1. What should my students be able to do intellectually, physically, or emotionally as a result of their learning?

2. How can I best help and encourage them to develop those abilities and the habits of the heart and mind to use them?

3. How can my students and I best understand the nature, quality, and progress of their learning?

4. How can I evaluate my efforts to foster that learning?
