    Episode 17 - Teaching Strategy: Spectrum

    This week Katie briefly discusses what to do when a colleague says something inappropriate. The meat and potatoes of the episode is about a teaching strategy she calls the spectrum. The spectrum has four benefits! First, it is easy to implement, second, it gets students moving and up out of their seats, third, it requires critical thinking, and lastly it gets students talking!  Website: www.classroomconfessions.net Instagram @classroomconfessionspodcast Facebook @classroomconfessionspodcast Twitter @classconfesspod Email podcast@katiemsmith.com
