| This workshop is so much fun because teachers jump right in and do the work as students would! I have been providing Socratic seminar training for seven years and it never fails to provoke a smile! We have two Socratic dialogues--one on a piece of writing, and one on a piece of art. After each session of about a half-hour, we debrief and discuss our work. This sharing leads to a discussion of classroom practice and assessment. I offer a variety of resources for teachers to read more about the process, and I share firsthand accounts of my work with students and staff. I also show work from students and staff for a mini-Critical Friends Group, and for teachers to get a look at my work and determine if I am truly doing what I profess can be accomplished in the workshop. |
