Description
The Dialogic Classroom in Higher Education is a step-by-step guide to leveraging Reflective Structured Dialogue as a pivotal pedagogical tool to boost student curiosity, engagement, and content acquisition.
Learning environments where students are engaged-with instructors, with each other, and with course content-are carefully crafted spaces where listening to understand and speaking to be understood are community norms. Blending rich data with the diverse classroom experiences of the co-authors, this book introduces readers to the theory and practice of dialogic pedagogy and charts a path for creating Dialogic Classrooms that are effective and adaptable.
A nuts-and-bolts guide to better listening, speaking, and engagement in college classrooms, this book is a go-to resource for faculty looking to foster robust, interesting, and brave educational spaces.
The Dialogic Classroom was co-created with Essential Partners, the pioneers of Reflective Structured Dialogue. Essential Partners is a non-profit based in Cambridge, MA, USA.
