Discover how to foster a classroom where students successfully collaborate by listening to and working with each other’s ideas.

In this 30-minute professional development workshop recording, we will examine tools and scaffolds that will guide teachers in creating a culture of respectful scientific argumentation in their classrooms, driven by students’ interest in others' ideas.

***In this interactive session recording, we’ll learn:***

- How to model curiosity, respect, and listening skills for students
- How to use talking moves that encourage teamwork in the classroom
