Today's episode is from a short training video produced by Thales Press for classical educators.
Classical educators use conversation in the classroom as a teaching method. By asking questions, we can determine if a student is off task and not listening, and we can help students understand a difficult concept.
And thoughtful, meaningful engagement in a good discussion is one of the simplest ways to measure a students' depth of understanding and attentiveness.
Matt Ogle is the Head of Classical Education at Thales Academy. He has taught both the humanities and the sciences and has served in a variety of leadership roles over his long career in education.
