Talk Moves To Promote Student Discourse

Whoever does the talking, does the learning! There are five basic talk moves that can
help increase student discourse in the classroom. Armed with these moves, teachers
will create opportunities for all students to get in on the mathematical conversation.
Teachers will be ready for all situations with ideas for troubleshooting common
challenges with student discourse.

This fast-paced, no nonsense session focuses on meaningful student discourse and
how teachers can elicit accountable dialogue from students. Participants will leave with
a new perspective on why students should be given opportunities to discuss, explain,
question and justify, and some easy ways to get them to start talking!
