Facilitated by the Dr. John Paul Foxe, Educational Developer, Learning and Teaching Office, Ryerson University Discussion groups provide participants an opportunity to engage in a focused conversation about an important topic. Classroom discussions are often unpredictable and as a facilitator, it can be difficult to keep the discussion on point while ensuring all participants have an opportunity to express their opinion. This workshop will focus on strategies for leading effective discussions. By examining a number of case studies, we will discover both effective and ineffective strategies for leading discussions. In addition, participants will be given the opportunity to apply some of these strategies in this workshop.
