Teacher Leadership in Action
After my research and trying out discussion habits in my classroom, I held a professional development session with 4th -8th grade ELA and Social Studies teachers to share with them a combination of my findings from Great Habits Great Readers and Accountable Talk®. During this session we analyzed several videos of excellent teachers who utilized effective discussion techniques to engage students.
I found that the tips were really bitesize and easy for the teachers to implement--the next day as I observed, I noticed many teachers immediately trying out the discussion techniques!
