Opening Up the Conversation leads practicing and preservice K-12
teachers through the process of creating more open,
student-centered discourse in their classrooms. Readers are first
introduced to types of teacher questions, student responses, and
teacher follow-up moves that are associated with both open and
closed discourse. Author John Henning then helps readers identify
the most likely places for open and closed classroom discourse by
examining an entire unit of instruction and by looking closely at
three distinct types of discussions-framing, conceptual, and
application. Readers are introduced to specific discourse moves,
the patterns of discussion, the amount of preparation, and the
types of accountability strategies needed to construct each of
these discussions. The final chapter of the book shows readers how
to videotape and analyze their classroom interactions in a teacher
study group.
