TAGteach is Teaching with Accoustical Guidance. It is a marker based teaching system that uses positive reinforcement and a disciplined approach. Below are videos of TAGteach applications, with an emphasis on mental health applications and early learning. But TAGteach can be used in many disciplines so I’m sharing a few of my other favorites. We can learn from all of them.
