The document provides strategies for effectively responding to students' questions and inquiries. It recommends establishing expectations, preparing meaningful questions in advance, and using high-level, divergent, and structured questions. When students respond, teachers should use reinforcement, probing, adjustment, redirection, and rephrasing. When students don't respond, wait time is important. When answering student questions, teachers can answer themselves, redirect to the class, help students answer themselves, schedule follow ups, or refer students to resources. Active listening is key through repeating, signaling, and acknowledging students.
