Teacher Insights

 

 
  • Active listening is the pursuit of what another person says and feels to improve mutual understanding. Active listening involves hearing content, listening for tone, observing body language, paraphrasing, summarizing, questioning, clarifying, and reflecting.

  • Verbal cues include words, phrases, and tone of voice that speakers use to add emphasis, clarify organization, make connections, and create ethos.

  • Nonverbal cues include pauses, facial expressions, eye contact, gestures, and body language.

  • Listeners should study verbal and nonverbal cues to determine a speaker’s message, argument, and credibility.

  • Appropriate discussion rules may vary depending on the classroom discussion but may include the following:

    • using your inside voice

    • avoiding interruptions

    • focusing on the speaker

    • remaining on topic

    • making suitable responses 

Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
