Pair & Share

Pairs  –   No Supplies   –  5 Minutes

How to Run Pair & Share

  1. Divide the group into pairs
  2. Provide them a prompt to discuss
  3. Let them know how much time they have and if they’ll need to prepare anything to share back when they’re done

Example & Prompt

This process allows for any prompt to be discussed in pairs. See a few examples of prompts we use with Pair & Share below:

  • “What are you hoping to get out of the workshop today?”
  • “Tell your partner about a person who has influenced your style of teaching.”
  • “When you think about our goals as a unit, what are the ones you’re most drawn to?”
  • “What do you think is the most important thing to focus on in the next six months to build this union?”
  • “What are the things that bothered you last year that you think could be addressed before this school year?”
