📋 EA Field Guide (How to Implement)

🚶‍♂️ Step-by-Step Routine

1. Concise Instruction: Deliver a clear, single-step math prompt (e.g., 'Point to the tens column').
2. Silent Wait Pause: Step back 1-2 paces, maintain neutral face, and silently count 10 full seconds without speaking.
3. Re-Prompt / Assist: If the student has not initiated after 10 seconds, provide a subtle visual or gestural prompt.

🚨 Troubleshooting & Avoidance (When things go wrong)

• If the student shows signs of anxiety: Give a reassuring smile during the wait time to signal that there is no rush.
• What NEVER to do: Do not repeat the verbal instruction multiple times during the 10-second window—this resets cognitive processing.
• Signs of frustration: Rapid eye darting or shoulder tensing. Lower your physical posture and maintain patience.
