The objectives are to observe and analyze classroom conversations to gain insight into student thinking, examine how conversations can develop language and thinking skills, recognize features of constructive conversations, and model conversation skills in an elementary classroom. The session is divided into four parts that include observing classroom conversations, examining student-to-student conversations, recognizing and teaching constructive conversation skills using a timeline, and modeling strategies to enhance conversation skills.
