Active listening is a skill we can teach and learn. The academic, social, and emotional benefits are transformative.

This highly interactive in-person workshop will help participants practice listening using a variety of engaging activities. These will include: 

• Looping – a way of speaking back the thoughts of others to deepen our understanding of their perspectives. 
• Collaborative Storytelling  – using our bodies to help retell what we hear from our peers. 
• Conceptualizer / Visualizer – observing how our peers organize their thoughts so we can communicate better
• Scales and signs – incorporating physical cues into classroom discussion to promote active listening and feedback
• Strengthening questions – using inquiry to learn more about what you’re hearing
