Document Summary
Often overlooked with pressure of student scores on academic tests. As teachers: form questions- what"s your idea , nurture cooperative discussions, decision making, and civic responsibility. Deliberation- discussion for the purpose of making a decision that will be binding everyone. Group can challenge one another with including alternatives. Deliberation skills need to be taught: instruction, role play. Listening to diverse views: listen carefully to reasoning, stimulates cognitive growth, helps children develop their capacity to reason about moral issues, goal: produce wise action. Higher order participation skills: teaching decision making- teach directly and explicitly. Help children become more aware of decisions and decision making. Unpack decisions and make a visual representation- show relationships.
