Giving Students Voice Through Socratic Seminars

Join me as I sit in on Chalimar Chieza's 9th grade World Geography class as they dive into a socratic seminar. Hear students form hypotheses around the question**"why do people around the world have different skin tones?"** as well as my discussion with Chalimar on how she structures the socratic seminar so all students have a voice.

We discuss the following:

her role as facilitator

how the socratic method shapes the socratic seminar

the roles of the 'inner circle' and 'outter circle' during the seminar

data she collects during every seminar

how she assesses the students

the most challenging aspects of setting up a successful seminar

how she debriefs the seminar with the students

how she ensures that all students have a voice
