We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

How long should wait time be?

First, wait time 1 constitutes a 3-5 second pause between asking a question and soliciting an answer. Second, wait time 2 is a 3-5 second pause after a student response. This time provides students with time to think about the question and develop a response, either to the instructors question or a peers response.

What is the average wait time for teachers?

Mary Budd Rowe, who taught at the University of Florida and Stanford University, did extensive research on the concept of wait-time. Her study found that the typical teacher pauses, on average, between 0.7 and 1.4 seconds after asking questions, before continuing to talk or permitting a student to respond.

What is the pupil thinking time?

Thinking time is providing additional time for pupils to think after being asked a question, and before they are required to respond. This ensures that all pupils have time to think of an answer, improves the quality of responses, and reduces the number of pupils that opt out of answering.

How long should thinking time be?

I recommend a minimum of three seconds. (More on this, and many other oracy topics, in my new book Oracy - 100 Ideas for Primary Teachers.) When we want a child to initiate talk, or take a turn, we need to wait.

What is the think time strategy?

The Think Time Strategy strives to catch disruptive behaviors early, and is intended to teach students self-control skills, not to be a punishment technique. Teachers send disruptive students to a Think Time desk located in a cooperating teachers room to an area free from distractions.
