Deep level Conversations
Deep level conversations in Collaborative Inquiry Groups Teacher Inquiry Assessment 2 (Research 2) Last night at our Staff Meeting, our Principal shared a reading about Leading Deep Conversations in Collaborative Inquiry Groups by Tamara Holmlund Nelson, Angie Dueel, David Slavit and Annie Kennedy. The article raised some good points and questions about how we collaborate and communicate with our colleagues within our Collaborative Inquiry Groups. It's hard to find the time to focus specifically on and have professional and deep level discussions about our students learning. It highlights some good points and raises some further questions; Do we need a tool to guide the way in which we engage with our colleagues and the way we talk about student learning/teaching? How can we foster, support and engage in deeper level collaborative conversations? Do we need outside help to achieve this?
