Supporting Student-to-Student Discourse in Science (And Beyond!!)
What does it look and sound like when students are engaged in authentic academic discussions? How can educators support students to engage in these rich conversations, not just to deepen their conceptual understanding but to help create a sense of belonging in a classroom community?
In this webinar, participants will analyze examples of K-8 students engaging in authentic practices of science and engineering as they work to figure out real-world phenomena. Participants will also discuss discourse strategies that can apply across curricular areas.

Is There a Place for “Inner Work” in the Education Community?... How we talk to each other, how well we know one another, and how we consistently demonstrate care creates the kind of safe base from which all kinds of good learning can flourish. Isn’t this same awareness essential for the adult communities in which we work? | DEI is a Relationship DEI is a relationship. In fact, it is multiple levels of relationship building that you experience which occur at different stages. In order to create a space where your contributions create meaningful impact you must examine three levels that create the fullest potential of your being: 1) the ME 2) the WE and finally the last one is 3) the US. | The need for critical social mindfulness in schools No doubt many school children do undergo a troublesome and precarious existence, and some can and do benefit from mindfulness to get them through their days. However, adjusting students to their personal pain while leaving its social, economic and political sources untouched is unlikely to promote their long-term wellbeing, still less fulfill the potential of mindfulness in transforming education for the better. |
