Data-Driven Dialogue: Collaborative Inquiry in the Virtual World
Foundation Seminar
Based on our book, Data-Driven Dialogue: A Facilitator’s Guide to Collaborative Inquiry, this foundational seminar introduces a three-phase Collaborative Learning Cycle to guide productive collective inquiry. Participants investigate strategies and structures that reduce defensiveness and create shared responsibility for student learning. When pairs, small groups, and entire faculties purposefully use data as a source for analyzing progress and proactively planning for improvement student learning is accelerated.
Participants will learn:
- Practical tools for discovering assumptions, promoting data-focused inquiry, and developing shared understandings of both problems and possible solutions.
- A process for collaboratively developing theories of causation and theories of action.
- Tested tools and practical strategies for managing the social, emotional and cognitive demands of collaborative problem- solving, decision making, and planning, while experiencing these strategies in a virtual format.
These understandings become the foundation for dynamical planning processes.
Topics include:
Using data to focus a group’s attention and energy
Applying the Collaborative Learning Cycle
Extending a repertoire of facilitative tools
