Orchestrating Whole Classroom Discussion at Coursera Course details
- This course offers strategies that can lead to richer, more productive, whole-class discussions in their classrooms. Focusing on how to prepare for discussion, this course is for anyone who leads, wants to lead, or is interested in how teachers lead discussion.
- Across the 4 sessions in this course, we?ll learn more about what teachers and students need to do to prepare for rich discussions, including understanding:
- 1. What is (and isn't) discussion, and why discussion is important
- 2. How teachers set goals for discussion, and establish explicit norms that support these objectives
- 3. How teachers select texts and prepare text-based questions to guide the conversation
- 4. How teachers ? based on these goals, norms, texts, and questions ? then prepare students for the whole-class discussion
- The course consists of short videos interspersed with various thinking tasks?such as reflecting on videos of classroom discussions in action, and designing and receiving peer feedback on aspects of a Discussion Plan, a plan for a discussion you?ll lead in your own classroom.
