Student-led conversations can create true leaders and collaborators.
When I was in high school, most of my classes were exercises in dictation. Whether the class was 10th grade chemistry or advanced placement European history, I was expected to copy information from the board and then recall it for tests, papers, and projects. These days, we expect more of our students. We want them to have good recall of content, but more than that, we want high school graduates who can collaborate and communicate well.
