There's nothing better than seeing R.E.A.L. "in real life." Our team loved visiting Patrick Farmer's classroom and filming footage to be used in next summer's teacher training. Thanks for having us, Patrick and Nativity Prep. Go sixth graders!

R.E.A.L. Discussion retweeted
Liza Garonzik (@DiscussionReal) writes that ChatGPT raises the art of live discussion skills by giving students more responsibility for the process and separating feedback from assessment, to create equitable and thoughtful student interaction.

Feeling very inspired by the wisdom and ambition of @McCallieSchool, with whom we worked on teaching communication skills. Here are some reflections about the question "what communication skill is most challenging to teach?" Thanks to Sumner McCallie for his vision in organizing!

R.E.A.L. Discussion retweeted
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.

2022 was a big year at R.E.A.L. - and it wouldn't have been possible w/o your belief in the power of conversation in and beyond the classroom. Enjoy this reflection and celebration of our past year! #REALDiscussion #conversationculture #edchat
