Listen "8: Reintroductions w/ Patrick Breshears"
Episode Synopsis
Patrick Breshears, a high school history teacher in North Carolina, talks about classroom management and a concept he calls “reintroductions.”You’ve probably heard of redirections, which sometimes involves pausing a lesson to address or correct student behavior. Patrick talks about something he calls reintroduction, where rather than pausing an entire lesson, he finds a way to include a distraction as part of the lesson. Listen to our conversation to learn more about this strategy that highlights how teaching is a balancing act, requiring improvisation and flexibility.
