Discussion to Support Learning, Part 3 - Keys to Literacy

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
This is the third of a three-part series of posts focused on using discussion to support learning. Simply getting students to talk out loud or talk to one another does not necessarily lead to learning. Effective, academic talk and classroom discussions should be productive, meaning students share their own thinking and reasoning and listen with a purpose to other people’s thinking. Productive discussion is sometimes called dialogic teaching, dialogic pedagogy, argumentation, accountable talk, and respectful discussion. It is more than just answering questions by teachers that have a single answer. High quality, productive discussions require critical thinking, are structured, are deliberative and reciprocal, and include academic language and vocabulary. Effective discussions are prepared in advance and are purposely led by the teacher. They include sustained talk with students defending their statements by referring to text or citing valid information.
