In my class discussions, I ask for opinions and thoughts, so there are no wrong answers (and this helps reduce anxiety) ... coming back to them, gives them a little extrat time to reengage. Good stuff.

I feel that this teaching method is really effective. It is very empathetic to wait for the student to process their answers and to even allow for 'breathing room" when they cannot respond right away. Some students like having the attention of others on them, but some are shy and "freeze up".

She lets' the student process the questions. As in the video, the student repeated a word 3 times so she did the same to be able to give him some wait time to answer the question. Not all students are able to answer on the fly so being able to give them that extra time is so important for them to be able to think about what they want to say. After the student couldn't answer she mentioned if he would like her to come back to him to give him some more think time. It shows the students that it is okay to think a bit longer before answering and also gives someone else an opportunity to support their peers and answer the question.

It's very human to need a moment to process the question and formulate the answer. This teacher does a great job giving the student time to think/ process and even helping them mentally prepare for when she "gets back to them". This can definitely help the student with communication skills. Great job!
