When learners get stuck, teachers must respond so that they can improve understanding, correct an error, or address a misconception. The way a teacher responds can leave the students feeling either successful or helpless. We call this phase of the teaching and learning process guided instruction because it represents a shared responsibility between the teacher and the students. For more information on guided instruction, visit www.principals.org/PL0111 to read "Guiding Learning: Questions, Prompts, and Cues," the Instructional Leader column in the January 2011 issue of Principal Leadership magazine.
