Wait Time As an educator, this is one area I can continue to improve on. Physical Education is very fast-paced. At times, I feel that slowing things down can help us focus during class.I agree that waiting a few seconds for a response can increase the number of participants. Allowing students extra time to respond to questions may help students feel more comfortable as they are not rushed to answer. Also, the number of correct student responses may increase as students are allowed to put deeper thought into their answers.
