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.
