Shownotes

Teaching students to be effective learning partners is very important. Looking back on my experiences with a new math curriculum that focused on collaboration, I have some strategies that will help you when it comes to having your students work with partners. Things like "turn and talk" to enhance communication, color-coded partner systems for clarity, and techniques for equitable participation. Flexibility and good sportsmanship are brought out through role-playing exercises and fun decision-making games. 

In this episode I share:

  • Teaching Good Learning Partnerships
  • Engaging Through Turn and Talk
  • Flexibility and Compromise Strategies
  • The Importance of Good Sportsmanship
