Meet students where they are currently at on their learning trajectory and not where you'd like them to be. Listening to students and using their sense-making utterances provides a guide for the instructor to engage other students in discussion and productive struggle, a key component of mathematics learning.


Try something from the mathematics education literature, if it works for you hone and improve it, if it doesn't, don't despair but improve it further. Find your own teaching style; what works for others may not suit you and conversely if something doesn't work for a colleague don't be afraid to try it for yourself.
