For instance, in the service of bolstering student empathy, I frequently employ think-pair- shares and have partners debrief the class in an innovative context. In lieu of having students thinking, sharing, and reporting out, I have students debrief the class as to what their partner was thinking. Unlike traditional think-pair-shares, I have...
