Program: Professional Development

Audience: Educators

Dates: 11/12/2024

Wait List
30 participants will receive a book. The webinar is still open but there are no more books left. What We Say and How We Say It Matter: We all have good intentions when it comes to the way we talk with our students, don't we? But does what we say (and how we say it) always reflect those good intentions? Sometimes there's a mismatch. For example, we might want students to own their work, but when we say, "Here's the next thing I want you to do for me," we're actually saying that we own the work. Or, we might want our students to do the right things for the right reasons, but when we say, "If you walk quietly in the halls, you'll earn a marble for our jar...only a few more and we'll get a pizza party" we're actually indicating that kids should do the right thing for self-centered reasons not for the good of others. In this lively one-hour online presentation, we'll explore a few key ideas about effective language and then play around with some ideas for how better to align our teacher talk with the good goals we have for students. This talk is meant to accompany/introduce the book What We Say and How We Say It Matter: Teacher Talk that Improves Student Learning and Behavior, so participants will be able to dig into these ideas in more depth through reading the book. Participants will also gain access to a robust set of online resources to explore to support ongoing thinking and implementation.
