In this unique opportunity, participants will work with Sandi Novak and Cara Slattery, experts on student discourse and authors of Deep Discourse: A Framework for Cultivating Student-Led Discussions, to learn a framework for implementing student-led classroom discussions that improve student learning, motivation, and engagement across all subject areas. Participants will learn to design and execute lessons that seamlessly build student discourse skills while delivering content.
