What Gets in The Way
On Day 3, Dr. Fisher focuses on what gets in the way. Research has shown that collaborative conversations can deepen student understanding of a complex text, yet many educators do not implement them.

REFLECTION: WHAT GETS IN THE WAY?
Think about your reasons for not implementing collaborative conversations. Make a list of all the concerns you have about implementing collaborative conversations with your students. What do you think is the barrier for your students and their success with learning from collaborative conversations?
