{{: Talking points }} | |||
“Talking points” are deliberately thought-provoking statements for discussion and reasoning in small groups. Research shows that using these is an effective strategy to promote conceptual learning in a target area because | |||
* it helps to structure the group task yet keeps the discussion open-ended. This is because pupils discuss the points but are free to contribute their own understanding /opinion about the point. In other words, the task is well-defined as well as interactive! | |||
* it helps pupils to discuss different aspects of a concept by providing cues and a focus for discussion. | |||

Discuss the following talking points and how true you think they are in the context of your school. For each item give both (a) ''reasons'' for your views and (b)''concrete examples'' of how you implement this. For instance, regarding “Everyone in the school has a voice that is heard”, give examples of how children make input. Also give examples of how you are not implementing this. For instance, you could list ways in which you do not (yet) involve children in decision making and how you might do in future. | |||
