Q2: Always pushing to go deeper, to challenge initial reactions, to understand others viewpoints #empathy #deeperlearning #EdChatMe

Yes sir! We build the capacity to listen for understanding. It begins by creating safe spaces for Ss to practice. #edchatme @MisterCMaine

In reply to @MisterCMaine

eringobragh29 Nov 14 @ 8:53 PM EST

Difficult to say. "Being cool" and "being smart" seem to have diverged, unfortunately. Opinions are expressed pretty gently. #edchatme

RobDom4 Nov 14 @ 8:53 PM EST

A2: The culture of good discussion can't really be forced. It can be explained, but the Ss need to make it more organic #edchatme
