Classroom talk is one of the most powerful tools educators have for supporting student sensemaking in math and science. Yet, facilitating rich discussions can be a challenge.  In this course we will explore instructional routines, discussion structures, and pedagogical shifts to help create classrooms where all students are active contributors.

We will examine strategies that support students in: 

• reasoning and sensemaking 
• communicating with and about ideas 
• making meaningful connections 
• engaging productively in struggle 

Educators will leave with tools to plan for specific discourse outcomes and practical strategies that can be implemented immediately. 

Live Zoom sessions will not be recorded. Participants will have the opportunity to purchase 6-STEM clock hours.
