What Would Be Your First Big Tip?

Jamie Thom interviewed me for his excellent Beyond Survival podcast - a show aimed at supporting new teachers. Jamie asked me to share five tips that I thought would benefit those teachers new to the classroom. Here is what I came up with:

1. The importance of boosting the participation ratio
2. Respecting both types of wait time
3. Improving paired discussion
4. Embracing Learner-generated examples
5. Asking students to assign confidence scores to their work
