This interactive workshop is appropriate for teachers of all subjects and grade levels and is designed to foster higher order thinking and total participation from all students. It offers practical tools and strategies to encourage students of all abilities and temperaments to think deeply about a topic and feel confident making contributions that enrich class discussions. Tools include Bloom’s Taxonomy, Depth of Knowledge charts, Socratic questioning, and dialogic methods, all of which are designed to promote imagination, wonder, creativity, and collaborative problem-solving. Participants will roleplay to practice strategies with their peers and will leave the workshop with practical tools they can begin to use immediately to elevate class discussions.
