Description

Ever faced a sea of blank stares during class discussions? You're not alone. In this episode I explore my practices and habits that practices that were hindering class discussion and how I rethought assessment and scaffolding so my ideas and strategies have evolved to encourage all voices are heard.


Let's turn those crickets into conversations and make your class the one students can't stop talking about - literally.
