WLC25 - HPISD Winter Learning Conference

Ever feel like pulling teeth to get students to discuss complex or challenging topics? This session dives into strategies for stimulating meaningful classroom discussions on high-rigor, low-engagement content. Whether it’s kindergarteners wrestling with foundational math concepts or high schoolers tackling abstract calculus theories, this session provides practical tools to get students talking, thinking, and collaborating. We’ll explore discussion frameworks like Socratic Seminars, think-pair-share with a twist, and using resources like AI to inspire conversation starters tailored to diverse grade levels and subjects.
