Title: Being Intentional with Wait Times as a Teacher
So what is wait time? How much should you give? There are so many questions when we deal with our students who are struggling with developmental delays and sometimes not enough answers. In this week’s episode we will talk about the definition of wait times, the benefits of allowing for longer ones and how paying attention to the directives given makes all the difference in the world.
In this episode you will learn:
- The benefits of allowing extra wait time
- How to adapt your directions to get a response from your students
- How to use effective prompts and verbal gestures
- About the consequences of not giving wait time
