In this insightful video, teacher Corey Wilkes demonstrates the effective use of the Think-Pair-Share strategy when working with reluctant learners in a middle school classroom. By encouraging students to first think independently, then discuss their ideas with a partner, and finally share their thoughts with the whole class, Wilkes creates an inclusive and engaging learning environment where incorrect answers are seen as opportunities for growth. With a focus on high expectations and accommodation of all learners, Wilkes provides valuable techniques for educators looking to foster deeper understanding and participation among their students.
