S24-04032 ACTIVE LISTENING FOR POSITIVE, PRODUCTIVE, ENGAGED LEARNING Patricia Magilligan—magilliganp@gmail.com 3 Credits — Inservice - June 26—August 15 The 21st century has brought many new opportunities and challenges for learning. Multitasking and distracted communication has become commonplace. Some research indicates that most people recall only 25% of a conversation only minutes after it occurs. The implication for learning can be staggering. Active listening and Accountable Talk can help us create the positive, productive learning environment that we all strive to have. Creating active learners who are motivated, engaged, nonjudgmental and compassionate should be a goal for all our schools. This course will go beyond active listening to include mindful listening, accountable talk, and creating responsive compassionate environments.
