The Discussion Heist

It’s not uncommon these days to see teachers clamoring for a hack that will change how student discussion plays out in the classroom. Our students still have a tremendous desire for interaction with each other, but it can feel like the second that topic of conversation aligns to a learning objective, the struggle for engagement is REAL. 

When the odds are against us like this, it seems as if we need to pull off something BIG to get student discussion where we want it to be…almost like pulling off some kind of heist! Yet, we're flipping the classic heist narrative here – it's about giving, not taking. And the GLG is just the right team to dive into the vast “ocean” of possibilities.
