 Questioning strategies should be changed in a way that gives motivation to weaker students and promote critical thinking. SHORT-TERM GOALS

SOLUTION TO ANTICIPATED CHALLENGES  The principal may not agree with my new approach. I will share the course manual and my notes from this course to my principal. CHALLENGES SOLUTIONS

 I do not own a computer. I will stay after school to use a computer in the school’s computer lab to create productive tools. CHALLENGES SOLUTIONS

 There may be students who do not want to work together. I will randomly group students to encourage collaboration with all class members. CHALLENGES SOLUTIONS

 Opportunities provided may look less to students. Will help students by asking different questions and putting examples to get the required answer. CHALLENGES SOLUTIONS
