Talk Less, Listen More: Fostering Meaningful Student Discourse

Student discourse is one of the most powerful tools for shifting a classroom from passive listening to active, deep conceptual learning. Study after study confirms that the person doing the talking is the person doing the learning. Yet, in the average classroom, teachers dominate over 70% of the vocal space. This course is a practical, masterclass-style professional development program designed to flip that script. Educators will learn how to transition from the traditional "hub-and-spoke" lecture model to a dynamic, student-centered environment where peer-to-peer academic dialogue drives deep conceptual understanding.
