Very interesting talk about the pose, pause, pounce technique. Very interesting to me as this was encouraged by my previous Principal, Grant Ramsay, at Papatoetoe Central School 8 years ago when I first started teaching. I certainly try and use the 3 second rule to give children a chance to process and think interactve questioning encourages thinking. I have operated a no hands up policy in my Year 0/1 classes for the last 3 years.
