Community of Practice: Discussion and Civil Dialogue

CATL is hosting a Community of Practice for AY 2024-25 to share and explore how instructors can foster civil dialogue and meaningful discussions in the classroom. We aim to build on the momentum from The Discussion Project hosted in May 2024, and continue these cross-campus conversations about promoting productive dialogue and engagement in our classes. UWL instructors who are interested in, or already incorporating, strategies for guiding discussions on complex topics are encouraged to join. This community provides an opportunity to share, reflect on, and develop approaches for encouraging thoughtful discourse, with a goal of disseminating our insights across the university.

Potential topics include:

  • Encouraging civil dialogue in diverse classrooms
  • Managing difficult or contentious conversations
  • Techniques for fostering respectful discussion
  • Guiding students in articulating differing viewpoints
  • Balancing open dialogue with maintaining classroom harmony
  • Strategies for promoting critical thinking through conversation
  • Incorporating dialogue into Eagle Advantage competencies

Learn more about the COP and apply today! After you apply, CATL will add you to the calendar invitations.
