Forms of Dialogue Suspend all assumptions (hold them accessible to questioning and observation)
Take multiple points of view
www.julieboyd.com.au
Data from the Five Nations Study showed that teachers whose classrooms dialogue was a noticeable feature tended to emphasise important aspects of student talk. These included expressiveness, volume an dclarity, precision in vocabulary and syntax, and the development of the distinctive terminology of each subject area and of the appropriate ‘register’- the spoken equivalent of writing genre. In classrooms where dialogic teaching was utilised, children had many opportunities to observe, learn and practice different and often more formal styles of talk.
www.julieboyd.com.au
The aim of using dialogue in teaching is always to move a child’s thinking from his or her own conceptions towards well-formed and mature understanding of, and ways of thinking and talking about issues and ideas. Dialogic teaching is most effective for the development of thinking skills. Research evidence- psychological, neurological, pedagogical, linguistic- sows that genuinely dialogic talk is indispensable to the development of thinking and understanding.

We communicate only what we deliberately choose to communicate Words mean the same to us as to our listener Communication is a one way activity of ‘telling’ people The message we send is the message received by the listener You can never give too much information

Leadership learnings * Frequency of contact and practice * Don’t tell them-get them to try * It’s hard to get to the top unless you’re connected to an influencer * Have to be unique and passionate www.julieboyd.com.au
WHAT WE’VE LEARNED Improved Performance needs Structural and Systems Change Staff Development is NOT the answer to all Problems Schools need ‘SUPPORTIVE INFRASTRUCTURE’ We must improve CONTINUOUSLY- put aside PROJECT mentality Can’t give away what we don’t have Need to learn to live with AMBIGUITY, COMPLEXITY UNCERTAINTY We need to individualise learning for maximum impact
