Social Studies Instructional Playbook: Strategies for Effective Explicit Instruction - Guiding Discussions that Deepen Understanding (Virtual)
Share
Although explicit instruction is essential for helping students learn new content, it’s the depth of student discussion that drives true understanding. So, how can we take peer discussion from simple turn-and-talks to analytical conversations? In this session, we will explore strategies for facilitating discussions that go beyond recall, encouraging students to engage critically with content and one another. By using structured protocols, questioning techniques, and pre-planned prompts, we will discuss how to deepen peer discussions and foster analytical thinking. Join us as we reflect on our current teaching practices and discover how to guide students through conversations that challenge their thinking, deepen their analysis, and promote meaningful content connections. These tools will help you build your own instructional playbook—enhancing student discourse, critical thinking, and long-term understanding.
