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 how to best teach and support quieter students. It explores three key areas:
1. Noticing and building relationships
2. Scaffolding verbal contributions
3. Celebrating quiet strengths.
I hope you find it helpful and supportive in your classroom. My book, 'A Quiet Education, 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.
