I co-authored the book ‘Dialogic Education: Mastering core concepts through thinking together‘ with Professor Rupert Wegerif of Cambridge University; Rupert has an international reputation in the field of dialogic education.

 

book-coverIn Part 1 of the book we offer detailed ideas for creating a climate in which dialogue can flourish in the primary classroom, applying the 4Cs framework for developing effective dialogue.  In Part 2 we present a series of examples of how dialogic approaches can support children to master foundational concepts in different subject areas. We then look at some of the wider applications of dialogue in schools in Part 3.

You can see full details of the book and order a copy on the Routledge website.
