Empowering Children through Dialogue and Discussion
Ostroff, Wendy L.
Educational Leadership, v77 n7 p14-20 Apr 2020
Psychologist Wendy Ostroff explains why using dialogue in learning with elementary-age students is a win for everyone, especially for learning. Young students are inventive questioners and naturally divergent thinkers, and they are engaged and empowered by exercising their voices. Teachers will benefit from Ostroff's guidance about fitting dialogue into content lessons and logistics of trying this approach.
