Starting August 2, Professor Kenji Hakuta and Drs. Jeff Zwiers and Sara Rutherford-Quach at Stanford Graduate School of Education will offer a short online professional development course, Effective Conversation in the Classroom: Preparing for Rich Talk in Every Lesson, to help teachers prepare for teaching students to have in-depth conversations about content area concepts and topics.

This course consists of three online sessions, three weeks in a row. Each session includes expert video screencasts, classroom video clips, readings and resources, and assignments that will prompt participants to strengthen the curricular foundations of communication the first month of school. You will learn to:

•    model and build activities for cultivating constructive classroom conversations;

•    and set up an assessment plan and reflect on it to improve learning and teaching.

Classroom teachers and instructional coaches from grades K to 12 and in all subject areas are welcome and encouraged to take this course together with their colleagues.
