Classroom conversations with Cathy Stacy

Cathy Stacy sat down to discuss some video footage of one of her spring 2012 classes.  The conversation explores some good ways to:

  • begin class by reviewing previous material

  • craft multiple-choice clicker questions 

  • get more students involved

  • handle instructional detours

  • probe student answers for deeper meaning
