I think that a characteristic of a good discussion it that it lively - everyone has a voice and ideas are shared, heard and examined. - Sheila

One must be a good listener in order to be part of an effective discussion.
I feel students should also feel safe to speak their minds and that they feel they are respected and supported.

My name is Tanya
I absolutely adore travelling, particularly backpacking, having visited over 60 countries with my husband over the last 25 years. We now have a six year old so have slowed down somewhat but will surely pass this love of being on the road exploring peoples and various cultures to him.

I enjoy spending time with my family (wife and 3 small kids), whether at home or at the cottage. In my spare time, although I don't often have any, I like watching my Toronto Maple Leafs.

Conversations that leave you feeling challenged to think about a new idea or perspective are the best. Everyone should feel respected and that they have had an opportunity to participate.

Enjoy learning

A good discussion allows ideas to flow freely and everybody to feel heard

“What are the attributes of a good discussion?” - By Maria

-          Getting to see new points of view that you never thought of (and are equally valid)

-          Building on a new idea, even if you disagree with it, at the beginning.

-          Bringing a greater understanding of the topic being discussed

-          Being structured: discussion is an ordered one (someone is the moderator)

-          Whoever puts forward a statement, would have evidence (or some reasoning) behind to back it up. Eg. We don’t want people repeating what they saw in social media, without checking the sources (fake news)
