Do you use Socratic Seminars in your science classroom? Share your experience below! (5/5)

[PhD Science @thephdscience]

💭 What Is a Socratic Seminar? A Socratic Seminar is more than just a discussion—it’s a powerful strategy for fostering student-led learning and deepening classroom conversations. (Thread 1/5)

[PhD Science @thephdscience]

💜 In a Socratic Seminar, students’ ideas take center stage; the teacher’s role is to serve as facilitator, keeping the discussion on track and providing the intellectual spark that initiates conversation. (4/5)

Happy #GroundhogDay from #NSTA! Did you know groundhogs rely on temperature & daylight cues to hibernate? Today, take a moment to wonder at the connections between #weather and the #environment around us, and hope that #PunxsutawneyPhil brings news of #spring on the way! #Science
