 le to perform higher order thinking skills fluently across all content are
 as. How can teachers structure instruction so that all learners have the s
 upport needed for these types of tasks? Students must be actively engaged 
 throughout lessons that are built for complex thinking and responding by a
 ll learners.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>This professional development session will 
 focus on effective teaching practices that engage all students in collabor
 ative academic conversations. Participants will learn multiple means of ga
 ining many answers from all learners while providing scaffolding\, particu
 larly for children who often do not participate. Particular emphasis will 
 be given to strategies that help struggling students participate in conver
 sations that require higher order thinking skills and complex academic lan
 guage.</p>\n<br />\n<p style="text-align: center\;"><strong><span style="f
