Teacher Talks: The Benefits of Becoming a Slow Teacher

This episode is this week's 'Teacher Talk': a fifteen minute talk that explores an important aspect of classroom practice, with practical strategies for implementing it in your classroom.

This talk explores the benefits of becoming a slow teacher. It looks at three benefits of applying a slower approach to teaching:

1. Improving perspective and planning 
2. Improving teacher presence and explanations 
3. Enabling real teacher improvement 

I hope you find it helpful and supportive in your classroom. My book, 'Slow Teaching', which I mention in the talk, is available here. Any feedback on how to improve these talks, or areas you would like me to explore, is always much appreciated. Please contact me on Twitter @teachgratitude1.
