    Questioning and Discussion: Deepening Student Thinking and Understanding, While Building Classroom Communities of Inquiry

    A Two-Day Institute
    Featuring
    Jackie Acree Walsh and Beth Dankert Sattes

    • How does skillful classroom discussion deepen student thinking and support all students to be heaven, college and career ready?
    • What is the DNA of a discussion that engages students of all abilities and backgrounds in respectful and meaningful discourse?
    • What protocols and strategies can you use to scaffold the requisite student skills and dispositions at all grade levels and all abilities?
    • What are the qualities of questions and questioning practices that underpin thoughtful interactions?

    Explore these and related questions as you interact with colleagues and with the authors of Questioning for Classroom Discussion.

    Content: During this two-day session the presenters will model a range of questioning and discussion strategies applicable to all content areas, K-12, and coach you as you plan discussions that promote standards-based, critical thinking, and speaking-listening outcomes related to one of your unit plans.

    Title II funds may be used for this event.
