Does anyone have any experience with how well these techniques work in a high school classroom? I keep picturing my kids from student teaching and knowing that they would continue to talk because they wouldn’t want to begin…
I think it would certainly still work. It’s not talking about completely reinventing your classroom strategy, and it still requires that you give your students clear expectations, and logical consequences of their actions. I read this as mostly re-phrasing your instructions and responses, to place more responsibility in the hands of the students - and with more responsibility comes clearer consequences.
