Episode 83: Utilizing Socratic Seminar in the Classroom with Julie Lee
I apologize for some of the sound issues on this episode. We were using our phones and my sound just didn't pick up as well as I hoped it would. But, this is a great interview that you are going to want to hear!
Also, if you caught the end recording before I edited, I'm so sorry, I forgot to delete our end conversation so you got to hear our "after" conversation. Just one of my "messy" moments! LOL!
On this episode, I had an amazing conversation with Julie Lee, AKA Socratic Sister. She shared her best tips and favorite outcomes of making socratic seminars a priority in the classroom. If this is something you've thought about implementing, already implemented, or have never heard of before, you have to listen to this episode. Julie shares some wonderful advice that I just know you are going to absolutely LOVE!
