Choral responses are a great way to raise participation, but what then? Do secondary teachers need more tactics than this? Find out in Episode 9, where Caitlyn's practice gets a glow-up from Teach Well after coaching.
When kids are young, they love cold call, turn and talk, and choral response. But as they age, they begin to roll eyes, feign annoyance, and strategically opt out.
It’s no mystery why these routines fade. Fewer adults have the courage to say, “too bad, this is good for you.”
It’s here! 🤩
Our interview with the mighty @DTWillingham is now live.

I’ve wanted to interview Dan for years and he was 100% worth the wait. This one is gold.

“A bad curriculum well taught is invariably a better experience for students than a good curriculum badly taught: pedagogy trumps curriculum. Or more precisely, pedagogy is curriculum, because what matters is how things are taught, rather than what is taught.”
― Dylan Wiliam

@Mr_Raichura Thank you @Mr_Raichura. This is currently one of the best resources around right now for secondary schools. So much of Direct instruction videos are aimed at Primary school. 🙏 🙌🎉
It has been a wonderful 2 days at the #VCSSDPA2024 annual conference. Great to network with fellow deputy principals and hear from some inspiring speakers. #aussieED
