Responsive teaching is is an exciting way to highlight student voice, but it comes with its own share of challenges and tensions. Caroline Herbster and Jacob Truett, from FSU Teach at Florida State University, join us to talk about their research with veteran teachers as they work to incorporate responsive practices.
Later, we look to a British study on the effects of classroom consensus on socio-emotional outcomes for students. They find that using better measurement methods provides insight into the benefits of student consensus regarding their autonomy, goals, and evaluation.
In the Peer Review, we share feedback on last month’s discussion provided by lead author Dr. Tor Odden. He provides a couple of more practitioner-focused articles that are easy reads with actionable suggestions.
- First Segment – Responsive Teaching – 01:02
- Second Segment – Class Consensus – 26:35
- Third Segment – Peer Review: Dr. Tor Odden’s New Resources – 40:20
