Examining Learning Environments
When you walk into an academically rigorous classroom of engaged students, what does it look like? Feel like? Sound like?
Handing Off
Handing off is a method of turning over to students the primary responsibility for controlling discussion. Having students “hand off” the discussion to other students instead of the teacher encourages them to retain complete control of the discussion and to become more actively involved in the learning process. When a student finishes his/her comments, that student should choose the next speaker. In this way, students maintain a discussion without relying on the teacher to decide who speaks.
