Description
Would you like to see students improve their critical thinking, reading, writing, and speaking skills? In today’s challenging political climate, the skills of civil, civic-minded, and evidence-based democratic deliberation are a necessity. Paideia (pie DAY a) is a pedagogy that encourages student-centered, democratic discussions around a common text. It can be used with all ages and in all subject areas to foster a more inclusive learning environment, and is particularly well suited to AVID, IB and AP curricula.
The Augsburg University Paideia Program has served the Augsburg community and teachers across the United States for over thirty years. We invite you to join us this spring for one of two Paideia Institute Preview Workshops. This workshop is appropriate for practicing and preservice teachers. Participants will have an opportunity to engage in a seminar, and examine the key elements of the Paideia approach for designing and facilitating deeper classroom discussion.
