QTC Chapter 6
Lower Level Question: Comprehension
Wait time is something that we be evaluated on in the classroom. Why should a teacher wait at least three seconds after asking a question before asking another student or answering the question?
Higher Level Question: Evaluation
Ms. Llwellyn, a first year history teacher at the secondary level, is having trouble getting her students to remember the historical facts and concepts that she teaches. Read about Ms. Llwellyn and her teaching practices and evaluate her teaching performance using the information about learning and cognitive processes that you learned from reading chapter 6 (page 214). Make sure to support your claims about Mrs. Llwellyn with evidence from the chapter.

1. It is important for teachers to allow wait time before calling on a student, or answering the question herself because this allows students who aren't sure of the answer to think about it. Also, this gives students who are not always ready to answer as soon as the question is asked a chance to think about it and come up with an answer. This wait time can provide valuable problem solving time for students, and forces them to think of something just in case the teacher calls on them.
