CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Developed by Doug Lemov in Teach Like A. Champion, Cold Calling is designed to promote. active thinking during whole-class questioning. Rather than asking for a volunteer, the teacher poses a question, pauses (allowing all students to think and answer in their heads) and then calls on a particular student to respond.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cold calling is a form of sales solicitation from businesses to customers who’ve never interacted with the salesperson making the call. It generally refers to phone-based conversations (hence cold calling) but technically covers in-person door-to-door interactions, too.

Detailed explanation-3: -’Hands up’ means that all the keen, able, confident kids in the room put their hands up and their names go up on the smiley side of the board and accumulate lots of ticks against them. They get loads of praise, and their sense of self-worth is reinforced.

Detailed explanation-4: -No Opt Out is a practice to encourage students to answer when they are unable or unwilling to participate. This is one of the most helpful and efficient ways to raise classroom expectations and to create a culture of accountability.
