Reconceptualizing the Role of Critical Dialogue in Realizing the Dream of Justice and Equity in American Classrooms

Mon, April 16, 8:15 to 10:15am, New York Hilton Midtown, Floor: Second Floor, Sutton North

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

This session brings together scholar-practitioner partnerships to critically examine notions of classroom participation and learning put forth in Socializing Intelligence Through Academic Talk and Dialogue (Resnick, Asterhan, & Clarke, Eds., 2015). While Socializing Intelligence argues that dialogic environments support students’ academic and intellectual development, this session extends such ideas to argue that in order to realize the dreams of today’s students, public education must be more dialogic, critical, and inclusive. In efforts to prepare students for the active civic engagement essential to the cultivation and sustenance of democracy, we must aggressively challenge the implicit and explicit ways that schools fit minoritized students into singular or monolithic forms of behavior, thinking, and, perhaps most importantly for this session, discourse.
