Discussions as Formative Learning
Date: Thursday, March 6th, 2025
Time: 2:00-3:30pm (AT)* / 1:00-2:30pm (ET)* / 10:00-11:30am (PT)*
Workshop Description:
How do we move away from the post-reply-grade paradigm when we use discussions in our classrooms? In this CTEI Workshop, we will come together to reflect on our practices and roles in creating space, across modalities, for meaningful discussion that encourages diving in, working through, and generating new ideas. We will explore how discussion is a dialogic process within a class community and a formative avenue for learners on their learning journey.
Explore the following questions about discussions with us:
- How can I make discussion activities in my class focus on the importance of social and dialogic learning?
- What role do I play in the process of student discussions?
- What do meaningful discussions look like in the context of a learning journey?
*This session will be 90 minutes (60-minute interactive workshop + 30 minutes optional conversation and Q&A)
