2022 Workshop Talk | 55:02 | 7-12, Teacher & Classroom, General Classroom
Summary
John Milton Gregory describes discussion as “waking he questioning spirit”—so how are we doing in our classrooms? Are we arousing and maintaining interest? Are we letting the known explain the unknown and deepening the thought process? Are we leading young minds to truth? From teacher-led review and Socratic dialogue to student-led discussion, this workshop explores five techniques to enhance and supplement our everyday routines.
