Who We Are and What We’re Doing at HUHS Kathy Owen Merry Allie Maia Kate Tedin

What is Harkness? How does it shift the Traditional Classroom?

Lets go to the Beach!

Welcome to a Harkness Class! What does Harkness look like and sound like?

Non-Negotiables are the foundation of the classroom

We scaffold instruction to “Come to the Table” Going from ROWS…. . to TABLES All freshman learn the soft skills and the academic skills of Harkness *

Student leaders teach their peers the soft of skills of civil discourse. Eye Contact Body Language Tone of Voice Active Listening

Students practice tone of voice to practice civil discourse. *

Students practice Teamwork to learn to work together

When everyone is ready, we “come to the Harkness table. ”

In a heterogeneous class of more than 30 students, we often have three tables running simultaneously.

OUR GOAL: The teacher is a subtle partner at the table: Students do the work!

Teachers and students track the discussion and give feedback to the class.
