Have you ever wondered how to help your students develop deep listening skills in group discussions? Enacting the power of partners and groups helps students learn to listen deeply so they can respond intentionally. Join Natalie Mitchell for this hands-on, interactive workshop as we explore strategies for considering personality types as a means for guiding student conversations. Get ready to foster a classroom environment where every voice is heard and valued! Natalie’s expertise as a literacy consultant will provide you with the tools and resources you need to encourage your most extroverted talkers to listen closely and your most introverted thinkers to join conversations with confidence.
