TSSA: The Power of Talk in Learning

Wednesday, July 1, 2020 - 15:30 to 17:00

The Power of Talk in Learning

TSSA is delighted to offer you an amazing opportunity to boost your teaching power with international expert Trevor MacKenzie.

Undeniably the most timely and effective manner in which we can gain a lens into student understanding and support thinking and reflection is through talk. Beyond tests or tasks, classrooms that nurture talk and value conversation and discourse produce several benefits: engagement is attained, achievement increases, and confidence is nurtured through clarity and appreciative strength-based inquiry.

Several talk strategies will be shared that can be utilized with all learners whether in the remote learning landscape or the brick and mortar setting.

 

DATE: 1 July 2020
