  7. Benefits of using discussion • Helps children to explore their ideas • Improves communication, speaking and listening skills • Encourages active participation • Maximises contributions • Less threatening • Students learn from each other • Increases self-awareness

  8. Creating a climate for discussion • Be open • Create a relaxed and friendly, yet organised and purposeful atmosphere • Make the classroom as conducive to discussion as possible • Encourage open discussions • Develop listening skills • Create mixed groups, both ability and confidence • Progress from talking partners, to fours or tables, and then whole class • Don’t always bail children out • Encourage children to have ownership and responsibility • Value what children have to say, even their mistakes • Build trust and acceptance

  9. Establishing the ground rules • Get the group to establish the ground rules • Suggested ground rules could be • Don’t interrupt anybody • Listen to each other • Be responsible for what you do • Respect each other’s opinions • Make sure everyone contributes • No snide remarks • Stick to the rules

  10. Active listening An active listener should • Sit quietly and look at the speaker • Relax, and make any non-verbal responses that come naturally, e.g. nodding and smiling • Concentrate on listening and suspend all judgements and questions • Make verbal responses that only reflect or paraphrase the main points discussed

  11. CPD video Watch the CPD video (www.teachers.tv/videos/running-discussions-in-a-ks2-class ) Discuss the following questions • How had the teachers created a climate for discussion? • How did the teachers use talking partners and small groups? • How did they engage children during whole class discussion? • How did the children demonstrate that they were sticking to the ground rules? • What good listening skills did the children exhibit? • How did the teachers organise the children for paired, group and class discussions? Plan how you will use these ideas with your class
