Knowing different types of questions and how that type can help students understand different concepts is useful whether the student has an IEP, is average, is a high achiever, or is gifted. This knowledge is also helpful for teachers to get the type of assessment responses that let them know if the students understand the concept, rather than answers that are responsive to the question but are undefined and incomplete.

I like the concept of this training overall, however, many of the slides did not play even upon restarting the session or going back to the previous slide to see if it might load.
