How should I understand the following underlined phrases? Do "This raises the question..." and "It prompts the question..." mean "This indicate that..."? Thanks!
This raises the question of leadership which is able to foster the quality of collegiality most likely to achieve these six aims. It prompts the question as to how teachers are, in the first instance, inducted into a profession and what measures leaders take to sustain their professionalism over time. Without opportunities to address the emotional intelligence of teaching, without opportunities for ref lection and critical re-appraisal of conventional wisdom, teachers will simply replicate the status quo, or even more worrisome, regress to the didactics of a mythical golden age when supposedly standards were high, when teachers taught and children learned.
