102: Talk Less so Students Talk More
Episode description
Listen, I LOVE to talk. That’s why I have a podcast. I cannot function in my life without talking. I have to talk to work out my ideas, to understand, to fully experience life I have to talk. So, when I learned that maybe I didn’t need to talk quite so much in my classroom… it blew my mind.
Why would you even want to talk less? The whole point of teaching is to help kids by showing and telling them what to do, right?
Tune in to this week episode to learn the reason behind why talking less in your math classroom will help your students.
In this episode we will chat about:
- average attention span by age group
- what happens when students talk
- teaching students how to talk in a respectful way
