My focus for PD this year is on teaching and facilitating civil discourse in my classroom. I would like to develop strategies to help promote the skill of civil dialogue amongst students over complex ideas. This will help kids build skills to allow them to research appropriately as well as communicate their ideas effectively. I’m basing my research on how individuals in our society may lack the skills to communicate controversial topics in an accurate and academic manner. The ability to communicate effectively with others can have a profound impact on a student’s future and employability.
The main topic of my research will be strategies to help promote civil discourse from a research perspective as well as a communication perspective. Students will better understand how to locate accurate information as well as identify bias in the media. They will improve their summarizing skills when reading complex texts. Lastly, students will learn how to effectively communicate their ideas. By improving their research and communications skills, students will have the ability to convey their thoughts effectively with facts and evidence to support their conclusions. I’m going to look at a variety of online resources and academic websites to learn and develop strategies. I will observe student research as well as their conversations to determine if and when they develop the skills necessary for civil discourse.
