Questioning a student and sticking with him/her


Dear reader,

One of the skills I apply for the Skilful Teacher course is to stick with a student when questioning. The idea is to inisist that a student that was picked answers a question despite being unsure of the answer.

If the selected students struggles, the teacher should (i) prompt the student or (ii) allow the student to check around from answers or poll his/her friends. After the student finally answers correctly, the teacher should get the student to answer the question again, this time all by him/herself.

This shows that we do not give up on the student.

Thanks,
Reuben
