Every Teacher A Leader Summit 2026
Thursday July 30, 2026 11:00am - 12:15pm EDT
Our classroom “discussions” were falling flat, so we created new structures to scaffold authentic conversation. We’d like to share what we learned about classroom talk, the challenges we faced, and the successes that encouraged us. Bonus: Students from our classes will join us to present their unique perspectives before facilitating an academic conversation with participants!
