Empowering Disenfranchised Learners: Making Thinking Verbal
What does a positive group collaboration look and sound like?
How might we create this environment in our classrooms starting day one?
Common Themes:
1. Safe Place + Risk-taking = Learning Opportunities 2. Just let them talk 3. Value student thinking 4. Observe, Listen, and Connect |
Rules are behavioral...Norms shape classroom culture.
1. Safe Place + Risk-taking = Learning Opportunities --> Your reasoning is more important than you actual answer
2. Just let them talk --> Call a Classmate 3. Value student thinking --> You can always change your ideas based on evidence and reasoning 4. Observing, Listening, and Connecting --> You can always connect to someone else’s idea |
Let the Game Begin! Playing Enbrighten...
Generative Questions + Time to Explore = Authentic Learning Opportunities
