This document discusses the importance of challenging the dominant discourse in education through encouraging conversation in the classroom. It advocates for using discussion of course material rather than just lectures to increase student engagement and learning.

Overall, it promotes critical thinking through classroom discourse as a better approach than strict textbooks or standardized testing alone.
