A shared inquiry discussion leader not only prepares questions that form discussion, but also keeps the discussion flowing. Discussion leaders should challenge the unclear, inaccurate, or contradicting statements of the participants; follow up on answers given to questions; ask for evidence proving an answer; and help form further responses from the participants. If participants start to stray from the discussion’s main point, it’s the discussion leader’s responsibility to help redirect attention by asking a question. Discussion leaders should know when a question has been answered and then, by presenting a new question, direct the group’s efforts toward another problem. Interpretation is one of the main purposes of a shared inquiry discussion, because interpretations can …show more content…
It's helpful to encourage participants to bring pre-written questions to a discussion session, because this will help them learn, and to develop a stimulating session. A good interpretive question is one that has shown up from the reader’s response to the work, and his or her curiosity about it. Factual questions about a text help provide some kinds of evidence that are put forward to understand the text’s meaning. In shared inquiry, it's assumed that the participants will come to the discussion with some knowledge of the explicit elements in a text, such as the names and relations of fictional characters and chronological order of a narrative. This information can be helpful in making great responses to interpretive questions. However, facts about a selection should be used sparingly during the discussion, to keep focus on the text as much as possible. The goal in shared inquiry is to understand what the author has actually said. The “facts of the matter” are the author’s words, which everyone should have in front of
Having experience in conducting group did not decrease the level of preparation and anxiety that came with the preparation for this exercise. However, the experience made the actual process of conducting group therapy less intimidating once the session started. This experiential exercise fostered the ability to look at myself as a group facilitator and be able to plan for group; it allowed me to be in tuned to the ongoing process occurring during the session and the ability to reflect after it was completed. In preparation, my co-facilitator
He encourages his readers to engage in the text, explore connections and extend the critical context. " Good thinking, like good writing and good reading, is an intensely social activity.
After "reading" the common text "like a love letter", open-ended questions are posed. Open-ended questions allow students to think critically,
In the course of the year, due to the Peer Leadership program, I feel much more motivated. At the beginning, I was insecure and unable to carry out the responsibilities successfully. Many times I found myself out of place and expressing myself was a challenge since I did not feel confident. But I have been able to feel part of a group for the first time in a class at school. I can share with other peers and unwind more easily in front of them and out of class as well.
Before starting the discussion, we had decided to adopt and modify Lesser’s guidelines. We decided that our goal was to develop an understanding of why the other person holds the opposing view. Our ground rules were to not persuade, defend, or interrupt. We were to keep our answers concise and to the point. We added this in because we both like to elaborate on our responses.
Leadership is an innovative process that aligns professionals with a goal, objective or vision statement. Leadership is defined as emerging and supporting a vision for instructing by learning and communicating a visional statement effectively. Leadership exemplifies the art of leading others to deliberately create a result. In leadership, leaders display themselves as a guiding tool for others in this case for teachers. In leadership, it is important that leaders coordinate the effective management of resources, namely time, material and people, to ensure that they are conveying an effective teaching and learning environment.
1. My philosophy of leadership is about collaboration and teamwork. Respecting and treating everyone the same, is key to supporting a good team atmosphere. I believe when a leader puts effort and care into assisting others, then their peers and followers will naturally want to support them. It is also important for a leader to recognize, that advocacy must never become so important that the critical elements of leadership are neglected (e.g. policy enforcement, command support, etc...).
Sometimes, each team member speaks, and sometimes the team selects one member to speak for the entire team. Literally, emotions and biases may come out in a debate. The recent research based supporting information helps give context to those emotions and biases. It can foster critical thinking, especially if students argue the position which are opposite to their existing beliefs. Such emotions and biases may actually force the students to set aside by applying the “consider the opposite strategy” and can evaluate the evidence supporting both sides of a controversial
Introduction Team leadership encompasses many things. It may seem like a simple and small task, but in a real sense, it is complex and comes with responsibilities, and commonly, it determines the success of any team or a group. However, the value of teamwork should not be overemphasized considering that all organizations need individuals and personnel who are willing to share ideas, listen to others and contribute to the problem solving of any given group or a company. Team leaders should have the ability, authority, and power to analyze data and information with a team of people with a common aim and objective as well as issues. The leader should understand the dynamic patterns, the connections and relations between paramount factors in these objectives, aims and issues that help in the analysis process.
From my point of view , Leadership has more to it than I can possibly imagine. I define leadership as the art of enabling a group of people get to a specific destination. As a leader your main focus was to enable your followers lead theselves. As i think deeper i realise a person cannot choose to be a leader. I think a lot of the time people take on leadership positions without knowing.
Introduction- The leadership and management are two important pillars of modern day business. “You manage things; you lead people” Grace Hopper (retired Admiral, U.S. Navy). On one hand managers, not only motivate people but they also set the course of direction and organize to achieve the targets.
At the conclusion, they will discuss the process that was taken and evaluate their findings with the class or teacher.

It may be so, that he or she has become quite passionate about it which means he or she has learned from the inquiry (Guido 2017).

Teamwork means that a group of people work with us to achieve a common goal, so selecting the team members is very important to help the team in achieving the goal of the team. Through my participation in this team learned a lot of teamwork and contributed to all my ideas that benefit the subject. It also contributed to explaining some of the ideas found in activities that were not clear in some students. The ideas also contributed to working as a team and benefiting the students in the team and then in daily life and work.
Nice discussion post this week! You start off with a great definition of what leadership is. To me, it is hard to define what leadership is, especially in one sentence, but I agree with you that leadership is the action of leading others or an organization. I feel like it is when someone steps up and goes into the unknown as well. It is also important to mention that it is never just one single person.
Introduction Leadership is the art of empowering people around you to achieve a goal. As a leader I want to help others become leaders themselves. I firmly believe that by leading based on my values this will be accomplished. I have had many leadership influences throughout my career. Some of them showed me the way I wanted to someday lead and others showed me exactly how not to.
