Prompt is a teacher question or directive that elicits a student's response after they fail to initially answer correctly or completely. Effective prompting was demonstrated in a dialogue where the teacher first asked a follow up question when the student did not respond, and then further prompted the student to expand their answer by asking an additional related question. Prompting is a characteristic of effective questioning that encourages students to provide more thorough and accurate responses.
