Knight - Module 8

Some of the take-aways is to paraphrase a long answer, use a student’s response to lead to the next question, and wait for a second or two to make sure you have heard all of the student’s response. The first allows you to analyze what the student said and makes sure that you fully understand what is being stated in the student’s answer. The second allows you to use the students own words to help the student get a better concrete understanding of what they are learning. The last take-away helps to make sure that you hear all of what the tutee is saying without you interrupting them. One thing that I would have a problem with is focusing on the student rather than what is coming up next. I usually think about what is the next step in tutoring and I think that cuts some of my attention from the tutee. This is a problem that I am working on.
