Inspiring Dialogue: Talking to Learn in the English Classroom

Inspiring Dialogue: Talking to Learn in the English Classroom (Language and Literacy Series)

''Real talk. Real classrooms. Real students. The authors of Inspiring Dialogue have given teacher education programs a tool for introducing dialogic teaching in culturally and linguistically diverse classrooms while meeting Common Core State Standards objectives.''
-- Maisha T. Winn, Susan J. Cellmer Chair in English Education, University of Wisconsin-Madison, author of Girl Time: Literacy, Justice and the School-to-Prison Pipeline

''Inspiring Dialogue covers a comprehensive and practical set of tools and strategies for implementing dialogic instruction.â€¦It is a program that has been fully tested at Michigan State University in one of the most thorough and carefully crafted teacher education programs nationally.''
-- From the Foreword by Martin Nystrand, professor emeritus, University of Wisconsin-Madison

''One of the most exciting aspects of English language arts is the discussion that can occur in the classroom. For many teachers, however, it is often a struggle to structure and implement real dialogue. Inspiring Dialogue provides specific guidance to encourage authentic conversations between teachers and students with practical advice for implementation.''
-- Leila Christenbury, Chair, Department of Teaching and Learning, Commonwealth Professor, English Education, School of Education, Virginia Commonwealth University

Inspiring Dialogue helps new English teachers make dialogic teaching practices a central part of their development as teachers, while also supporting veteran teachers who would like new ideas for inspiring talk in their classrooms. Chapter by chapter, the book follows novice teachers as they build a repertoire of practices for planning for, carrying out, and assessing their efforts at dialogic teaching across the secondary English curriculum. The text also covers dialogic teacher learning communities through video study and discourse analysis. Providing a thorough discussion of the benefits of dialogic curriculum in meeting the objectives of the Common Core State Standards, this book with its companion website is an ideal resource for teacher development.

* Dialogic tools for step-by-step planning within a lesson, over the course of a unit, or during an entire academic year.
* A user-friendly, interactive layout designed for new teachers who are pressed for time.
