Do You Want to Support Positive Teacher Talk in Your School?
Teacher Talk that Matters is a quick reference guide that serves as a companion to What We Say and How We Say It Matter: Teacher Talk that Improves Student Learning and Behavior.
To really dig deeply into teacher talk, a school might first engage in a book study, using this free study guide. Then, teachers could each get a quick reference guide to support their on-going implementation as they work toward their goals.
