What is The Best Class You Never Taught : How Spider Web Discussion Can Turn Students Into Learning Leaders about?

<p>The best classes have a life of their own, powered by student-led conversations that explore texts, ideas, and essential questions. In these classes, the teacher&rsquo;s role shifts from star player to observer and coach as the students</p> <ul> <li> Think critically,</li> <li> Work collaboratively,</li> <li> Participate fully,</li> <li> Behave ethically,</li> <li> Ask and answer high-level questions,</li> <li> Support their ideas with evidence, and</li> <li> Evaluate and assess their own work.</li> </ul> <p>The Spider Web Discussion is a simple technique that puts this kind of class within every teacher&rsquo;s reach. The name comes from the weblike diagram the observer makes to record interactions as students actively participate in the discussion, lead and support one another&rsquo;s learning, and build community. It&rsquo;s proven to work across all subject areas and with all ages, and you only need a little know-how, a rubric, and paper and pencil to get started. As students practice Spider Web Discussion, they become stronger communicators, more empathetic teammates, better problem solvers, and more independent learners—college and career ready skills that serve them well
