Document Summary

How we use talk and discussion in teaching and learning. What did we learn from this activity. What are the four things we"ve decided are important. What are the behaviours of x that we have talked about so far. High-quality discourse with a back and forth where the goal is students having discussions with each other facilitated by the teacher. Types of questions vary depending on what kinds of conversations you are having. May need to think about classroom talk in new ways. Provide opportunities for all students to participate. About thinking together; not right or wrong; wrong is another opportunity to learn and figure things out together. Opportunities for students to talk, write and make models together before sharing ideas aloud. As a teacher this means helping them listen to each other to begin with. Responding to what is going on in the classroom. Involves sharing ideas without evaluating their validity. Tell me what is your thinking about this.
