Designing for Effective Learning: The Design of Dialogue Education

by Jane Vella

From the bestselling author of Learning to Listen , comes the next-step resource that walks the reader through Vella’s seven design steps. Each chapter includes an example of dialogue education in action, and poses a learning task for the reader, which is to translate the example into the reader’s own context, and then consider how the design could be improved. In this way, educators will practice dialogue education as they review the elements of design, see these worked into problematic situations, and be invited to critique the designs in terms of their own educational context.
