SPARKING Innovation in Education What’s with the  Old Guy? A Place for Socrates  in the Classroom Meredith Stewart Cary Academy
 
 
 
Classical  Method
 
What makes a good teacher?  Who deserves forgiveness?  Is inner beauty more important than outer beauty? What does it mean to be lucky?
The Socratic Seminar is an open discussion, unlike some assignments where you must do everything a certain way or you get an F.    -Cole
Student-Driven
A Socratic Seminar gives the students a lot of responsibility to make sure the discussion is smooth sailing.    -Kimia
 
Reflection
 
 
 
Perspective Altering Assessment
Your opinion of certain things in the book changes, whereas for a test you  simply memorize facts.   -Patrick
 
Most school assignments involve only a pencil, paper,  and computer.    With the Socratic Seminar, you can get a new opinion from listening to other people.    -Rachel
