2020 Foundation Talk | 1:03:48 | 7-12, Academics & Curriculum, Teacher & Classroom, General Classroom
Summary
There is more to discussion than merely getting students to talk about the material. There is more to it than provoking their opinions. Is your classroom a place where students think well, listen well, and speak well? What practices stifle those qualities? This practical workshop provides ideas about how to get our students to interact
with the material, with the instructor, and with one another.
