🎙️ That Teaching Pod | Think, Pair & Share

Unlock the secret to truly effective classroom questioning with a simple shift that transforms unproductive talk into deep student insights. Too often, teachers jump straight into discussion without giving pupils the thinking time they need to formulate thoughtful answers. That’s a mistake—and it’s holding students back from engaging critically and articulately. In this episode, Andrew Jennings and Jon Tait reveal how a small tweak—adding strategic think time before pair and share—can dramatically improve student discussion quality. You’ll discover why the “think” component is often overlooked, how to structure it for maximum impact, and which types of questions benefit most from this approach. We break down practical techniques like visual timers, explicit prompts, and how to tailor routines so students become confident, articulate thinkers ready to justify their ideas. This isn’t just about classroom efficiency; it’s about cultivating thinking skills that build confidence, reduce disengagement, and foster richer learning conversations. Whether you’re planning a quick starter, a formative assessment, or a deeper exploration, mastering this strategy means you can use it at any point in your lesson, with predictable results. Perfect for busy teachers wanting to elevate discussion quality without extra prep, or leaders seeking methods to boost engagement and critical thinking across their teams. If you’re ready to move beyond surface-level talk and unlock genuine student voice, this episode is essential listening. Discover how a simple routine can elevate your teaching and your students’ learning—because good questions deserve thoughtful answers.
