Think Time

Think Time

Front: Giving students purposeful time to reflect before answering your questions provides all learners with time to process your question and formulate an answer.

Back: Develop a thinking culture in your classroom by adopting Think Time routines. Wait 15-30 seconds before calling on a student to answer your questions, and encourage students to keep their hands down and ponder during that time. Encourage thoughtful conversation and reflection with routines like "Think, Pair, Share", "Everybody Writes", "Predict, Observe, Explain (POE)".
