Right is right - accepting an almost right answer is not best practice because it is misleading the student into thinking they have the right answer when they don't. A better way to address this is to tell the student that they are "close, but not 100% correct." This allows them an opportunity to go back and revise their work correctly.

Technique 16:

Higher level thinking, add examples.

Push students to make deeper level thinking.

As we wait more students have time to think and answer.

Gives confidence for students.

Connection to responsive classroom, shows how to think.

More hands to go up and wider range of scholars answer.

More evidence in answers.

Being consistent with time you are giving. Wait until question is asked to raise their hand.

Right is Right: Stresses the importance of expecting and insisting a correct answer response on the first try. In depth response with critical thinking and accuracy of answers. Works best with WAIT TIME.

#29

All Hands: Fosters environment where all students are actively engaged and participating at all times. Encourages teachers to make sure that everyone is active and attentive. Encourages disengagement of students (i.e. math games).

#33

Wait Time: Personal crowd favorite!

Two types...1-wait 3-5 seconds for students to answer. 2- waiting for a longer time (8-15) to encourage a more in depth answer. This goes along with the RIGHT IS RIGHT strategy.
