Teacher PD - How to Run Philosophical Chairs
Philosophical Chairs is an excellent way to engage students to think critically, and an organic way to introduce movement to the classroom. Philosophical Chairs teach skills such as respectful dialogue, debate, public speaking, critical thinking, evaluating alternate opinions and more! This strategy can be integrated into any content class. If you want to introduce this teaching strategy to your staff, this is the lesson for you! Included are PD leader instructions and presentation slides that will serve as a visual to assist your staff through the process of Philosophical Chairs, including example dialogue, steps and movement instructions. All learners learn best by doing; teach your staff how to implement the skill through experience, instead of a powerpoint presentation.
