Edutopia | How Learning Happens: Encouraging Academic Conversations With Talk Moves
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
Sentence starters that students use to join a class discussion encourage both academic thinking and social connectedness.
Teachers at King Middle School in Portland, Maine, make these sentence starters easily accessible by taping a talk moves printout to students’ desks.
This video is part of Edutopia’s “How Learning Happens” series, which explores teaching practices grounded in the science of learning and human development.
Edutopia developed this series in collaboration with the National Commission on Social, Emotional, and Academic Development, with support from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative; with special thanks to the Science of Learning and Development Initiative, Turnaround for Children, Learning Policy Institute, American Institutes for Research, and EducationCounsel.
