Silent Talk: Setting the Stage for Introverts to Thrive in the Classroom and Beyond - Paperback

by Heidi Kasevich (Author)

In our extroverted school cultures of today, there is an emphasis on quantity of speech and constant social interaction, often leading introverted students to feel misjudged and overlooked. Silent Talk: Setting the Stage for Introverts to Thrive in the Classroom and Beyond offers research-based strategies to create inclusive classrooms where introverts are as valued as their extroverted counterparts for their potential to learn and lead. This book reimagines traditional notions of classroom participation, incorporates silence as a prelude to talk, and rescues solitude with quiet times and spaces. Filled with actionable advice, Silent Talk is an essential guide for educators seeking to nurture quiet leaders.
