Workshop Highlights:
Read and study the concepts of dynamic learning in Opening Minds: Using Language to Change Lives (2012) by Peter Johnston.

Description:
In this book study course of Opening Minds: Using Language to Change Lives (2012) by Peter Johnston, learn the language of dynamic learning that focuses on the process of learning rather than on the traits of the learner and watch as your students strive and thrive to engage in learning. "How did your figure that out?", How do you know?", "Tell me more." and "Are there other ways to think about that?" are examples of open-ended questions that shift the weight of learning from the teacher to the student. In a dynamic learning environment, multiple perspectives, uncertainity and diversity add energy and excitement to the learning process. Students light up as their thinking and perceptions are valued, considered and as they recognize that what they have to say and what they do MATTERS! In this dialogic classroom environment, students are engaged in communicating, collaborating and taking personal ownership for their learning. The concepts of dynamic learning apply to any content area, any curriculum K-12 and any social setting. An empowering and mind changing course!
