        Closure
        
        The lesson ends with a verbal review of the day’s work, previewing the next lesson or reminding students of upcoming due dates.
        
        Routine exit polls (e.g., “thumbs up, to the side, down”) are used to check understanding, often combined with well-wishing for the day’s end.
        
        No negative comments are made about incorrect answers, maintaining an encouraging tone as students leave.
        
        Verbal praise is explicit and frequent (“Good job, [name]!” “Pat yourself on the back!”) to spotlight desired behavior and academic effort.
        
        The teacher only uses names for positive recognition and confidence-building, never for correction.
        
        Positive self-celebration and group acknowledgments are embedded into verbal feedback, contributing to a constructive learning atmosphere.
        
        Redirection is handled respectfully and, when possible, anonymously (“Some of us need to focus,” or group-level reminders).
        
        Off-task behavior is addressed calmly, without embarrassment, and the teacher avoids singling out students for negative attention.
        
        Non-verbal cues and group corrections reinforce expectations, supporting a positive tone and dignified classroom culture.
      - Teachers use questioning strategies to probe student understanding (“What do you think?” “Can you explain your process?”) and scaffold as needed.
        
        Real-time verbal feedback is given frequently, with variations in depth and frequency based on student age and needs.
        
        The teacher points out similarities between student answers and gives stepwise help where confusion emerges, both with individuals and groups.
    - - The teacher explains the lesson, asks for student ideas, and encourages discussion of the warm-up as well as new concepts, using names only to reinforce positive contributions.
        
        Group activities are initiated with clear verbal instructions. The teacher walks around to interact with groups and individuals, checking for participation and inclusion.
        
        Engagement is supported by collaborative structures (e.g., card-sorting activities, paired work, or rotating stations) where the teacher and aides circulate to connect with all students.
