Questions & Discussion From Research to Action Questions & Discussion
Think-Pair-Share • Share how you are translating (or are considering translating) your research into action. • In groups of three, share what you are researching and why, and discuss the impact you would like to achieve. • Following these small-group conversations, we will invite you to share your ideas with your symposium colleagues.
Think-Pair-Share Step 1: Reflect and Answer Take 10 minutes to individually reflect on handout questions: Step 2: Share with Your Partners In group, one person shares responses to the reflection questions, one person listens, and one person takes notes. Note-taker uses large post-its for this purpose. • Step 3: Listener Response • After sharer discusses his or her reflections, the person serving as listener addresses with group: • Strengths to this approach • Additional considerations to keep in mind with this action plan
Think-Pair-Share Step 4: Switch Roles and Repeat Steps 2 and 3 After this initial “turn,” group members switch roles (e.g., the sharer may become the listener, and the listener may become the note-taker). Groups should try to ensure that each member has opportunity to play each role. Step 5: Full-Group Sharing and Discussion Following the small group activity, we will return to the full session, and invite you to share your stories with your symposium colleagues. Please bring your completed post-it notes to the full session and affix to the wall.
