I think that practice is the key to mastery, and try to spend time practicing with the student as much as possible...

...in an innovative context. In lieu of having students thinking, sharing, and reporting out, I have students debrief the class as to what their partner was thinking. Unlike traditional think-pair-shares, I have found that this approach obliges student engagement on an intra and inter-personal level.
