Description
This round table discussion will focus on and discuss the difference between debate and dialogue. Participants will practice using debate and dialogue when in conversation with one another. We will discuss each approach and how and why to encourage dialogue in the classroom.
This is an introductory session for those who have avoided conflict or disagreement in their classrooms/group meetings or who have had conversations go poorly. The session will provide example language to use with students and advice on how to set guidelines that allow for respectful communication across viewpoints. The session will also identify techniques that can be used to return students to a dialogue if the conversation begins to veer in a disrespectful direction.
Round Table Structured Discussions:
These structured 75 minute round table discussions begin with topic orientation and then direct engagement in large and small groups in structured discussions. Participants are asked to actively and directly participate.
Underlying Purpose:
Help faculty become more comfortable supporting students and facilitating discussions around the election and politics.
Dialogue philosophy:
We learn facilitation skills best through experiencing the conversations we may encounter as facilitators. So, these sessions ask for direct participation from participants.
