Overview

Discourse is essential to making student thinking visible and is a prerequisite for supporting students to make claims and share their perspectives. In this virtual workshop, participants will define how providing students with the skills to engage in effective and productive discourse and defense can raise the rigor of our literacy instruction and promote student ownership. We will explore strategies for discourse that promote the development of key reading and comprehension skills and build a vision for implementing select strategies in upcoming lessons.
