ALT Student handout with the header "Let's talk math!" Beneath is a grid of sentence starters including "The strategy I used was" and "I wonder if." Students place a chip on a starter when they use it. When they run out of chips, they wait for others to speak.
ALT "Learn with your students, beside them, not in front of them. Admit when you don't know, then show the skills to find out. Offer opportunities for students to forge their own paths rather than leading the way. Choice and voice is incredibly important. Model everything and celebrate often." – Teacher Kelsy Stoyanova
