Listen & Learn with Learning Positions

Program Transcript

[00:00]
Interviewer: We have learning positions in my classroom. If they’re seated at
their table groups, and if I want them to face the whiteboard, I
have them physically turn their chair to what I call learning
positions. It just kinda lines them up. It also turns them away
from their desk, and anything that might be a distraction.

I ask them to lean towards the learning. I want to see them


leaning forward. Their body is telling me that they’re listening.
They’re nodding their head, and their eyes look alive. We’ll
practice it many times. We’ll pause.

Show me learning positions please.

And say, “How could we show Henry that we’re listening to his
presentation?” Then when students turn and look, I’ll narrate
their behavior. Liza, turned her chair, so she could see Henry.
Esteban’s eyes are on Henry. Talia 01:20 is actually leaning over
towards him. They all sort of get into it, and then Henry can start
talking.

It’s just a lot of rehearsal. I feel like whosever sharing is more


invested because they realize people are listening. And it helps
them learn to be active listeners, and not to be passive in a
classroom.
