Equity of opportunity over airtime - healthiest atmosphere for promoting discussion (and mental health). Love your work @DiscussionReal @CaptainsPoets @onestoneidaho #realtalk #teenled
Liza Garonzik shares several techniques to improve the quality of class discussion. All are based on the notion that equity of opportunity, rather than airtime, is the healthiest and safest atmosphere for promoting effective discussion. bit.ly/3G2pY01

Liza Garonzik writes that, for some reason, we stopped teaching kids listening skills at a very young age. Since listening is the essential skill in our polarized world, Liza provides ways to revive the art of listening for middle/high school students. bit.ly/3ua8g50

The person who talks the most is the most likely to become the leader. Data: regardless of intelligence and expertise, groups elevate those who command the most airtime. It's time to stop rewarding people for dominating the discussion, and start valuing quality over quantity.

“The number one skill is listening,” says Wendi Pillars about making sketchnotes. This style of note taking is helping students stave off Zoom fatigue, while giving them more agency over how they take notes. kqed.org/mindshift/57500/how…

#StudentVoice involves ‘the values, opinions, beliefs, perspective, and cultural backgrounds’ of all students. Listening to the collective student voice means that we listen and respond to what really matters to Ss. ow.ly/O7Sy50zbNwT

One of the least noticed harms of the standards-and-testing movement is that its focus on individual subjects (ELA, math, history) discourages interdisciplinary teaching, which begins with broad questions and problems so students can draw from whichever disciplines are relevant
