>A mind-stretching discussion can be one of the richest opportunities
for
>learning.  Successful discussions offer students an opportunity to hear
their own
>voices alongside their peers' and help students develop a deeper
>understanding of their own ideas, assumptions, and values.  We will
discuss how to
>prepare and start a discussion, how to handle problems that arise, and
how to end
>discussions with clarity.
