Webinar: Effective Collaborative Conversations with Doug Fisher

Join Dr. Douglas Fisher for this informative live session!

The power of peer-to-peer learning has been well documented in the research base of effective instruction. Perhaps the most influential theorist on the role of peer-assisted learning is Lev Vygotsky, who believed that all learning is mediated by interactions with others. Therefore, collaboration with peers becomes a necessary part of the learning process of a child.

In this session, we will consider the ways in which collaborative conversations compliments instruction in a gradual release of responsibility framework.

Objectives and Outcomes:

Participants will examine components necessary for group work to be productive.
Participants will identify quality indicators of productive group work.
Participants will assess various classroom instructional routines for their usefulness in productive group work.
