These are "Questions to Inspire/Trigger the LEAP - Teaching Residency Meetings". These general questions are based on the themes and interests stated more specifically by all the TR Teachers. They are generalized and categorized by Defne Erdur in order to create a common ground/frame to start discussing and sharing at the onset of the TR meetings.
