Workshop Description:
In order to facilitate discussion, it is key to ask the right questions and build the right environment. In this workshop, we will discuss what makes an open classroom environment and evaluate different question asking techniques for leading a productive discussion. We will offer some alternatives to direct questioning, and participants will devise a plan for what to do when discussion does not go as planned.
