I will continue using Kagan strategies regularly for normed academic discussions in the form of pair-shares and other opportunities in which students build on each other's ideas while having a structured setting with sentence-frames and think time. I will also continue to have regular Socratic Seminars as a means for students to synthesize texts while making observations, asking questions, and having respectful and appropriate debates. Most importantly, I will strive to learn from what works/what doesn't to make students feel comfortable and safe to be intellectual risk-takers and be brave.
