“One of the things that we tend to fall back on as teachers are the traditional Q&A, where we shoot out a question, and basically whoever raises their hand gets to answer the question. Total Participation Techniques changes that,” There are instances when you can simply call on students, but not for higher-level thinking prompts that require more time to process. “The whole idea behind The Ripple is that I am no longer just calling on a kid. When the question is something that I want every student to show me evidence that they understand, then calling on someone is not the first thing I do. I’m going to want to get evidence from every individual student, and then I’m going to let them process it together quickly, and then call on them. “When you call on a student absent of total participation strategies, everyone else is off the hook. It’s really got to be a mindset of, ‘I want evidence that every student is learning. How am I going to do that?’ When it’s important enough for everyone to learn, you ought to make sure that every single student is going to give you that evidence.” (Persida)
