About this episode
Do you want to do LESS as a teacher?
This episode is about how doing less as a teacher can help our students to do more - while using our time to make the biggest impact possible.
We are chatting about:
- How talking less will give students more time to talk
- When you do less (like giving less problems) students can focus on thinking deeply about one or two problems
- Supporting students less allows students to build skills to productively struggle and be empowered to see what they CAN do.
