In Think Tank #2, we will explore how to develop partner talk in Grades K-5. We will explore a series of routines that can be used to develop collaboration, deep listening, and clear communication. We will also examine how specific structures (guided mini-lessons and games) can be used to develop the habits of mind that underlie all effective learning behaviors.
