Dialogues, Discussions, and Presentations
FACE-TO-FACE DIALOGUES
The retreat/workshop in the school that John Dewey founded is a natural environment to spur conversations about inquiry-based learning.
GROUP DIALOGUES
Small-group work may provide deeper conversations and outcomes.
ON-LINE DIALOGUES
Use of the "Discussion" part of the site, along with spinning off units, will encourage the community of learners beyond this one-day event. There is significant opportunity to build bridges across communities and user groups.
