A6: respect and listening above all else. If a safe environment is not established, students will not share. We practice ways to productively share when we have different points of view or differing opinions. #LearnLAP
A5: I find itโs challenging when the same students share regularly, and the same remain silent regularly. If everyone is not engaged, they are not all benefiting from the discussion. #LearnLAP
@MoriartyHistory Itโs so important to be doing this kind of reflection in the moment- they are telling us what they understand and what they still need!
A3: as an English teacher, I love to give opportunities for opinion to drive discussion (such as agree or disagree). Itโs an approachable way to encourage students to share, and it is memorable because I learn so much more about them! #LearnLAP
A2: itโs all about knowing your group- some groups need to be guided through conversation, while others can find their flow. Most of the time, I try to find a balance of both! #LearnLAP
A1: classroom discussions build community and expose students to new perspectives that can challenge their current understandings. Also, they promote active listening and reflection! #LearnLAP
A3: itโs important everyone feels heard. All comments and ideas can be productive if positive communication expectations have been established. When a group feels safe to share, they can learn so much from one another. #BuildHOPEedu
@PreK33@NowakRo This is a great way to show everyone that they are a necessary piece of the puzzle. Showing our community how each individual is valuable motivates them!
