Description
Engaging in high-quality discussions can deepen students’ understanding of a topic and encourage them to think critically by allowing them to hear different perspectives or to compare various solutions. It can also help students develop their communication skills. But how do you get such critical class conversations going, and how do you then sustain them? In this session, we’ll discuss how to motivate students’ preparation for whole-class and small-group synchronous discussions, broaden participation across your class, encourage active listening, and improve the overall quality of students’ contributions. We’ll also consider ways to assess students’ participation in class conversations.
