Adding a writing step to this common classroom practice helps teachers ensure that every student is getting the opportunity to think deeply about a question.

It’s a common scenario: A teacher poses a question, a few students raise their hands, one is selected to share a response, and class moves on. Tight time limits and a gauntlet of content to cover can make this seem like a necessary routine. However, there are certain questions that warrant giving the entire class time to answer thoughtfully. And it can be hard for a teacher to gauge who is actually doing the thinking when only a few students speak up. Enter Think, Ink, Pair, Share—a classic classroom strategy with one added step that gives everyone in class a moment to process important content.
