339: 💬​ When Discussion goes off the Rails

The Spark Creativity Teacher Podcast | ELA

We’ve all been in a discussion hurtling off the track and into the canyon, far, far below. Chances are, you’ve been in this type of discussion as a student AND as a teacher, and it’s no fun in either scenario.

So how do we prevent it?

And what do we do if it’s already happening and glaze is washing over our students’ eyes?

In today’s episode, the fifth in our discussion series, we’re diving into how to deal with discussions that go off the rails. Because even if YOU prepare in all the ways, those days happen. And it doesn't mean all is lost.

Ooh, by the way, do you have my free discussion toolkit yet? It contains many of the tools we'll be talking about today.
