Follow Their Lead

Return to main page

Educator example

Watch as this teacher follows many leads on the playground:     

  • A child's request for help.
  • Another child's desire to help.
  • Children's interest in the garbage can.

Because children are doing what they're interested in and the teacher is responding, the children are more likely engage in turns with her!

How will you use this strategy to increase conversations in your classroom?
