Comments from Participants

I arrived feeling tired and intellectually ‘spent.’ I am leaving feeling ‘filled up’ (supported, validated, stimulated) and renewed. In a sense, the workshop has restructured me.”

“I believe Socratic Seminars to be the most exciting, dynamic strategy that I have encountered in my twenty years of teaching. The best part is that it stimulates me!”

“Wow! This is a very important workshop for teachers of all grade levels and disciplines. …We have a big responsibility to teach this to all children.”

“…absorbing exercises and seminar activities have convinced me that this approach to learning constitutes a major missing dimension from our training of teachers.”

“Just a quick note to let you know that I tried my first seminar on Thursday, the day after our conference. It went beautifully! Our Dean of Academics observed me and he was thrilled with the way the students were engaged!  Socratic seminars will forever be a part of my teaching practice. Thank you!”
