Monitor Teacher-Student Interaction Print this page Save this page
Teacher-student interaction is an important feature of effective instruction. Ask a colleague to monitor the frequency with which you interact with each student by tallying one-on-one interactions (use a seating chart or a running dialogue chart). Student-teacher interaction can also be monitored by placing a poker chip on a student's desk each time you interact, then tally the chips at the end of the class. Both techniques provide information concerning the balance of teacher and student direction of the classroom.
