Sparking Student-Led Discussions in the Classroom

Moving from Q&A to Q&D is both an art and a science. In this episode, CPET coaches Dr. Jen Gowers and Kelsey Hammond, join us to think out loud about what makes vibrant discussions a challenge to facilitate, how we can meet that challenge, and how we might handle surprising moments in our classroom discussions. The team shares what "invisible skills" are, why they are crucial for helping students participate in meaningful discussions, along with practical steps we can take to teach these skills to children of all ages. Your voice matters! After you listen, let us know your thoughts, questions, and reflections on fostering engaging dialogues in the classroom.
