Socratic Seminar and Student Debate
The Socratic style of discourse stems from the adage, “Tell me and I forget, show me and I remember, involve me and I understand.” This workshop helps develop teachers who model higher-order thought, lead discussion, scaffold questioning, guide the students to their own well-reasoned conclusions and eventually participate as an equal in student-driven seminar.
Collaborative Learning: Activate, Differentiate
In Collaborative Learning pedagogy, students are constantly practicing and refining their thinking, logic, presentation, speaking, and processing skills.
