#7 Call and Respond

  • Course
  • 29 Lessons

What is this course about?

Call and Respond may seem like a weird way to ask students to participate: the teacher says one half of a statement, and then all students respond in unison. In this workshop, I will share several use cases for Call and Respond, as well as practical tips and strategies to maximise the chance of it being effective.
