From Silence to Insight: Unlocking Student Thinking with Chalk Talks
LIMITED
Thursday May 28, 2026 2:45pm - 4:15pm CDT
B203
Limited Capacity seats available
What happens when students discuss ideas without speaking? Powerful thinking. In this session, teachers will experience a Chalk Talk from the student perspective and learn how this simple strategy can transform classroom discussions. We’ll explore how silent written conversations can build participation, deepen thinking, and naturally lead to stronger questions and richer dialogue. Participants will leave with ready-to-use prompts, facilitation tips, and strategies to help students move from quick answers to thoughtful, higher-level responses.
