1. Don't steal the struggle.
2. Move from the front of the classroom.
3. Teach students signals for your often-repeated phrases and for transitions.
4. Use non-verbal reinforcement for behavior whenever possible.
5. Turn your statements into questions and prompts.
6. Instead of asking, "Does that make sense?" say, "Can you put that in your own words?"
7. Stop repeating yourself.
8. Notice moments when you summarize/review for students and instead get their input.
Definitely worth the read!!
