In this course, teachers will set a vision for what discourse can look like in the science classroom. They will delve into the multiple purposes that discourse can play in situating students as sense-makers in the classroom and in deepening their thinking and reasoning. Teachers will have the opportunity to analyze videos of student discourse in science classrooms, experience discourse, and plan and rehearse discourse. The module will culminate in teachers planning, implementing, and reflecting on discourse in their own classrooms.
