How can I heighten student participation in my sections? What are different ways I can plan a discussion and ask questions of students? How can I enhance students' critical thinking skills? This seminar will provide participants with strategies for addressing these questions in social science and humanities classrooms. Seminar participants will learn and practice techniques for facilitating discussions, managing controversies, asking effective questions, and enhancing and evaluating student participation. This seminar will complement the Leading Discussions session offered at GSI Teaching Orientation.
