Synopsis:

The Dialogic Classroom in Higher Education is a step-by-step guide to leveraging Reflective Structured Dialogue as a pivotal pedagogical tool to boost student curiosity, engagement, and content acquisition.

Learning environments where students are engaged―with instructors, with each other, and with course content―are carefully crafted spaces where listening to understand and speaking to be understood are community norms. Blending rich data with the diverse classroom experiences of the co-authors, this book introduces readers to the theory and practice of dialogic pedagogy and charts a path for creating Dialogic Classrooms that are effective and adaptable.

A nuts-and-bolts guide to better listening, speaking, and engagement in college classrooms, this book is a go-to resource for faculty looking to foster robust, interesting, and brave educational spaces.

The Dialogic Classroom was co-created with Essential Partners, the pioneers of Reflective Structured Dialogue. Essential Partners is a non-profit based in Cambridge, MA, USA.
