How to MOTIVATE Kids to Participate, Pay Attention, and Pause Before Speaking (A Simple but Significant Solution)


Listen Later

Do kids talk in your class?

You may have said YES! They are just talking while you are teaching OR talking about something off-topic.

You have have said NO! They are very quiet, dis-engaged, or hesitate to talk.

The good news is, I have a simple, but significant structure to get kids talking, participating, paying attention, and even pausing before blurting.

In this week’s episode of the This Teacher Life we explore how changing the way we present a topic changes the narrative of the conversation or activity in our classroom.

I am confident by the end of this idea you will be inspired to have 180 Days of Awesome and 36 weeks of Terrific Tuesdays!
