Let's Discuss: Practices for Equitable Student Participation in ELA Classrooms (Visions of Practice Series) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This practical book explores evidence-based practices that K-12 educators can use to encourage and support the participation of all students in classroom discussion.

Research shows that when students participate in classroom discussions they grow cognitively, socially, and academically. Let's Discuss offers guidance for creating classrooms committed to student "talk" that is active and supports participation by more than just a few students. The authors, who have taught and worked with teachers at a wide range of grade levels, highlight core, research-informed strategies from multilingual education, literacy education, arts education, and disability studies-all adaptable to different age students. This book balances intellectual and theoretical material with practical implementation advice, making it appropriate for education certification and literacy methods courses, as well as in a PLC or professional development context.

Book Features:

• Guidance on how to make classroom discussion inclusive, academic, and ambitious.
• High-leverage practices and concepts that have been widely used and researched in the fields of literacy teaching, multilingual studies, and literacy studies.
• Helpful "snapshots" of teaching practices at different grade-bands, exposing educators to core practices that are transferable across age levels.
• A strong focus on instructional practices rooted in dialog and dialogic education, such as exploratory talk, question generation, and collaborative reasoning.
• Appropriate for teachers of diverse populations of students, including multilingual learners and students with disabilities.
