Listen "S3 Episode 6 - 5 Things to do Instead of Asking for Hands Up"
Episode Synopsis
On today's episode, I'd like to speak with you about how you can get bang for your buck in the good stuff in the classrooms. That is through an element of explicit instruction that we have all seen in action but that so many of us are yet to embrace—not asking students to put their hands up in response to a question. The words, hands up if, are such an ingrained part of teaching practice that it feels odd not to use them. But if we can do some things instead of asking students to volunteer responses, we will get more engagement in our classrooms. That is naturally going to lead to better learning outcomes for all.Has something in this episode resonated with you? Get in touch! Are your students good readers, but poor spellers?
