In Lead and Support Teaching, the circulating teacher's role is to:

• A. Lead the lesson while the other grades
• B. Grade student work
• C. Provide support as the demonstrator leads
• D. Manage the classroom and implement policy

Answer: (C)

Lead and Support Teaching uses two teachers in a collaborative setup: one leads the instruction while the other circulates to provide targeted, real-time support. The circulating teacher moves around the room to check for understanding, scaffold tasks, ask guiding questions, help students with difficult steps, and manage materials, all while the demonstrator delivers the lesson. This arrangement keeps students engaged and ensures access to the content for diverse learners without shifting the responsibility of delivering the main instruction or handling formal grading and policy details during the lesson.
