Reflect: (Post your response to the prompt below by Monday morning.)
Student talk has been a focus in our district. How might you shift your instructional practice to enhance students’ listening skills? Explain how you would use one or more specific strategies from this chapter to help students develop their listening skills. You may want to consider CCSS Speaking & Listening Standard 9-10.1.c “...actively incorporate others into the discussion; and clarify, verify, or challenge ideas and conclusions.”
Interact: On Monday, read your colleagues' reflections, and respond to at least one other post by sharing a comment, insight, or interesting possibility by next Thursday.
