Discussing Equity: Using Protocols to Deepen Conversation and Raise Intellectual Engagement Online
Dr Patricia Virella, an OFE guest-host and professor in the Department of Educational Leadership, is offering this session which aims to teach participants how to use discussion protocols in their classes when discussing issues of equity or other sensitive topics. Protocols allow for structured conversation, thoughtful listening, and pausing to deepen intellectual engagement and mutual understanding. Discussion protocols are also tools for equity because, as deNoyelles et al. (2014) explain, they allow for multiple and different perspectives to be heard. Anticipate an active session of learning by experiencing and doing. Participants are asked to read the following in advance: Zarretta Hamond's "The Power of Protocols for Equity." https://www.ascd.org/el/articles/the-power-of-protocols-for-equity
