Details

This is the first session in a series of four (other dates are 10/3, 10/17, and 11/7) chatting about topics from The Discussion Book: 50 Great Ways to Get People Talking (Brookfield & Preskill, 2016), a practical resource for energizing classroom conversations. We'll have a copy of the book ready for you at the first session when you register on Campus Groups for at least two of the three sessions. Each session will highlight strategies to make discussion a powerful tool for advancing in-class learning, with opportunities to reflect on how they can be adapted across disciplines. The book club also provides a welcoming space to connect with colleagues from across the university, exchanging ideas and building community around teaching.

This week we'll be going over techniques to get discussion going with new groups -- especially helpful in large lecture halls!
