This episode offers an exploration of silence in education, challenging traditional notions of verbal dominance in the classroom. By examining silence as a positive pedagogical tool, it provides insights into fostering student agency and engagement. Educators will gain practical strategies for creating an inclusive learning environment that respects the diverse ways in which students process and engage with content. And there is a mini Methods Consult from Lara talking about inductive, deductive and abductive reasoning. Enjoy!
