Developing Student Talk
| |||||
Teacher poses question. Teacher asks students to turn and talk to their partner. Student A shares, student B shares. Student A and B, “Okay teacher, we’re done.”

Talking Versus Conversation
| |||||
Have you experienced a scenario similar to this? Have you wondered, how meaningful was that conversation? I know I have seen this many times in my classroom. I think to myself, they just put their idea out there which is great but I want them to do more with their ideas and responses.

How do I get my students to participate in conversations? | |||||
If I expect to hear conversations in my classroom, I need to show them. Modeling is key!
This is just a starting point that has helped me to get students to converse versus I share, you share, we’re done. Once there is an understanding of my expectations when we discuss, then I begin teaching Kagan Structures.
Always Learning,
