She shares how she uses demonstrations, modeling, movement, and question-driven lectures to keep students actively thinking rather than simply listening. She also discusses using “how” and “why” questions to uncover misunderstandings and help students transfer their understanding to new problems. Finally, Megan shares how getting to know students individually—including their goals and motivations—helps her better support and engage them.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/xkMbVDhEel1s15q1Wd9RKYlSZmy5KzMmnWP_9FhzeT0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQ5MDk3LzE3MDky/NjYzNDEtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
