Your students are really into it. They’re listening and participating. Their eyes are bright and inquisitive. They pass all your checks for understanding with flying colors. But as soon as you finish and give the signal for them to practice what they’ve learned independently, only a few get right to work. Some students look around the room, unsure of how to begin. You set them up for success, take them right to the edge of learning . . . but there they stand, frozen. So you do what you have to do. You do for them what you know they can do for themselves.
