Think - Pair - Share Partners 

Why Think- Pair- Share Partners? 

Think- Pair- Share Partners are an important way to increase student voice in the classroom and reduce unwanted interruptions during lessons. Effective teaching is like breathing. There should be a fair exchange of teacher and student voice. It is important that students interact with each other to discuss their thinking and learning. Below you will find strategies for setting expectations for partnership interactions, pairing partnerships and strategies to foster highly effective conversations. 

Setting Expectations

Pairing Students

Students should have a standard Think-Pair-Share Partner. Typically these students are located at their group table and are easily excisable to have a conversation. In addition to the typical Think-Pair-Share Partner, there will be times that it is important to mix up the partners. You can use Partnership Cards to pair students. Students choose a card, then find their partner to discuss. This increases movement and connections in the classroom.
