Case: Too much Teacher Talk
I am currently in a self-contained class comprised of 15 middle grade students with intellectual disabilities. I am having a difficult time reducing the amount of teacher talk in my lessons. The students have difficulty with reading comprehension so I feel as if I need to explain everything to them. A few of them can work well with a partner but many have limited social skills which make collaborating with a peer challenging. I would love some suggestions as to how I can incorporate more independent and cooperative learning in my lessons so that I do not hate the sound of my own voice at the end of the day.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
A good way that you can reduce teacher talk is by changing up the way you do things a little. instead of always explaining everything to the students ask them if there is anyone who can explain what you just said back to you. this will get them talking more and you talking less. If no one wants to raise their hand, you can always use popsicle sticks with the students names on them drawn at random to pick who will have to answer your question. To get the students working together more you can start really small. After you have explained something to the students, ask them to think pair share or to turn and talk with the person next to them. These are both really simple ways to get students talking to each other. |

| Comments: I would do this if I was in this situation as well. Having the students engaging with one another is a great way to break up teacher talk. |
