    Episode 39- Strategy Showdown- Prompting

    It's a Strategy Showdown! This special episode of Education Insights: Focus on Behavior puts two popular prompting strategies head-to-head: verbal prompting and gestural prompting. Both live under the same "prompting" umbrella, but the way they work in a classroom? Pretty different. We're breaking down what sets them apart, where each one shines, and helping you figure out which might be the better fit for your students. What We Cover: A quick refresher on what prompting is and why teachers rely on itHow verbal prompting works — using spoken words, cues, or instructions to guide a student toward the desired behavior or responseHow gestural prompting works — using physical cues like pointing, nodding, or hand signals to guide a student without saying a wordReal classroom scenarios for each strategyThe honest pros and cons of both — including the "yeah, but what if they become dependent on the prompt?" conversationFactors to help you decide which approach fits your classroom culture, grade level, and current behavior goals You're the JudgeThis is a Showdown episode, which means we're handing the decision to you. After listening, think about your own classroom: your students' needs, your instructional goals, and your teaching style. There's no wrong answer here — just the right fit for your room.
