I found this article via @JelleJolles and it’s all about the importance of feedback and the personal experiences of the author of the post, Brooke McCaffrey. This is nothing new, cfr Hattie, Marzano,… but this article focuses also on the importance of not letting go, but sticking with a student. This is in fact close to what Socrates did a very long time ago.

“I recently read the book The Skillful Teacher by Jonathan Saphier, Mary Ann Haley-Speca, and Robert Gower, in which the authors discuss the concept of “sticking with a student.” With this method, instead of the typical response of moving on, the teacher keeps his or her attention and focus with the student who provided the incorrect answer and uses a variety of strategies to help that student reach the right answer. For instance, the teacher might validate what is right or good about an incorrect answer and then offer the student a cue.”
