Advanced Paideia Seminar
Are you an experienced seminar facilitator who wonders why some seminars don’t go as well as others? Are you interested in strategies for helping students to think deeply within a complete literacy framework? Would you like to strengthen your approach to developing challenging questions?
Join us as we consider the finer points of seminar planning and assessment, including: identifying rich and paradoxical texts, designing and asking questions in the right sequence and at the right time, steps for analytical reading, and guiding student reflection.
This Institute will make you both more aware and effective as a seminar leader so that increasingly your seminars will evoke increasingly sophisticated engagement from a wider variety of students. The result will be an increased ability on the part of your students to understand and explain the complex ideas that shape your curriculum.
If you are serious about seminar dialogue, this is your opportunity to grow both in your understanding of the dynamic of discussion and in your ability to inspire it.
