Description
Socratic teaching can be one of the most powerful ways to reach the highest levels of thinking, but as Kaplan points out, a mismatch between content and pedagogy can stop the most enthusiastic teacher from implementing this effective strategy. Join an honest and revealing journey to implement a Socratic teaching model within a first to fifth grade elementary resource setting in multiple subject areas. Begin with the basics and walk away with resources and lessons learned. Participate in a Socratic discussion and learn how this powerful instructional strategy can transform teacher, students, and everything you believe about classroom design.
