Proper nonverbal responses include smiling, nodding and maintaining eye contact
Nonverbal responses included looking at notes while students speak, looking at the board
Probing
The instructor needs to use a questioning strategy called probing to make students explore initial comment
Adjust/Refocus
The instructor can refocus to encourage the student to tie her response to the content being discussed
Strategies for responding to student questions
Answer the question yourself
Redirect the question to the class
Attempt to help the student answer his own question
Ask the student to stop after class to discuss the question
Refer the student to a resource where she can find the answer
Strategies to use when students don't respond
Redirect
The instructor can ask another student to comment on his statement
One purpose of using this technique is to enable more students to participate
Rephrasing
This technique is used when a student provides an incorrect response or no response
Using "wait time"
One factor that can have powerful effects on student participation is the amount of time an instructor pauses between asking a question and doing something else
Students need at least three seconds to comprehend a question, consider the available information, formulate an answer, and begin to respond
