QUICK TIP TEACHING STRATEGY
Teach Like A Champion: Cold Call Technique
Cold Calling is something we have discussed in the past. This is a great example of a teacher using questions to cold call students. The only advice I would give the teacher is to monitor wait-time. The teacher also uses predictable behaviors. When he uses cold call, he has students stand so they know what is happening. This is another great use of movement to break up the block.
