LIVE WEBINARS:
Unlocking the Power of Classroom Talk – In Person and Online


Presented By Shana Frazin and Katy Wischow
Four, 75-minute webinar sessions from 5:30pm to 6:45pm Eastern Time (ET). Please note that this webinar series is scheduled for Eastern Time (ET). If you are in a different time zone, please plan your schedule accordingly. Picture the kinds of discussions in which you'd like your kids to engage. Imagine students in class—virtually or in person—leaning in, listening, participating thoughtfully, building on each other's ideas, and coming to new insights, whether it's a talk about a book, a science experiment, or a math problem. Imagine them in breakout rooms, videos on, eagerly talking over a shared screen or excitedly adding to the chat box. This webinar series is about making your classroom conversations soar. You'll start off studying a "cycle" for talk, like the writing process, that can illuminate places where talk can be stronger. We'll explore how talk will look different depending on the purpose for the talk and where you are in the talk cycle. Shana and Katy will explore several purposes for talk and teach you fun, concrete strategies that will help you strengthen both your teaching and your students' talk. Together, we'll try out strategies and tools to make talk dynamic and meaningful in a virtual learning environment, and we'll consider how online talk can both open up talk opportunities and pose challenges. Each webinar will be hands-on, and the strategies you learn will work this year and beyond. You'll learn how to support your students in having conversations that result in growth and change, even in virtual or socially distanced classrooms.
