Summary
In this bonus episode, we’re joined by our very own EB Membership Manager, Genevieve, to talk about one of the most powerful (and underrated) strategies in the classroom—silent discussions. If you’ve ever struggled to get every student engaged or wished for deeper thinking without the pressure of speaking out loud, this episode is for you. Genevieve shares how silent discussions can transform participation, boost student confidence, and get every learner involved—no talking required.
