This book is ideal for practising and preservice K-12 teachers seeking to enhance their discussion-based teaching skills and create more open, engaging classroom environments.

The Art of Discussion-Based Teaching, a singular tool for practicing and pre-service K-12 teachers, guides readers through the process of creating ideal conditions for a discussion, anticipating students’ responses, and guiding the direction of a discussion.

Description

Opening Up the Conversation leads practising and preservice K-12 teachers through the process of creating more open, student-centred discourse in their classrooms. Readers are first introduced to types of teacher questions, student responses, and teacher follow-up moves that are associated with both open and closed discourse.

Author John Henning then helps readers identify the most likely places for open and closed classroom discourse by examining an entire unit of instruction and by looking closely at three distinct types of discussions—framing, conceptual, and application. Readers are introduced to specific discourse moves, the patterns of discussion, the amount of preparation, and the types of accountability strategies needed to construct each of these discussions.

The final chapter of the book shows readers how to videotape and analyse their classroom interactions in a teacher study group.
