I love this clip from Lauren Resnick at the University of Pittsburgh.
It’s so clear and convincing how she suggests ‘accountable talk’ classrooms are what every child should experience, if they are to become capable thinkers.
There’s more from Lauren in the following paper:
Accountable Talk: Instructional dialogue that builds the mind
