Learners who respond inadequately are revisited **OR** no learners respond inadequately.

Feedback about inadequate responses should be followed by subsequent monitoring.

Where appropriate, informal assessment should also follow feedback about inadequate responses.

In a fifth-grade class, learners are engaged in a large group question and discussion activity about the three branches of government. Two students offer consistently incorrect responses. During a subsequent seat work assignment, the teacher visits each of these students and spends time to clarify their misunderstandings.

During a sharing circle in a sixth-grade literature group, learners are asked to identify one main idea from a novel. When any learner is called on by the teacher but does not respond, the teacher remarks, "I’ll come back to you in a few minutes."
