Socratic Dialogue in the Classroom
This sectional will be a conversation about using Socratic Dialogue in the classroom on a regular basis. We will begin by exploring Plato’s dialogues and what Socratic Dialogue is. We will read excerpts of Plato to experience the master philosopher himself in dialogue with his interlocutors. The group will identify and apply the classical pedagogy principles that are used and strengthened while employing Socratic dialogue. We will look at practical ways to use Socratic Dialogue in classrooms of all ages.
