Socratic Seminars are a structured, collaborative dialogue, focusing on a common text or resource, which students have analyzed and toward which they have prepared questions to spur the discussion. This strategy provides a format for students to practice skills in critical thinking, reading, and inquiry, as they participate in the inquiry-based dialogue.

AVID’s model of the Four Stages of Building Relational Capacity1 assists educators in developing a caring, supportive community that uplifts all members. The model is not a linear path. There is no set route to successfully creating high relational capacity; rather, the model offers a guide to be used by reflective educators.

Collaborative structures are effective methods to work together in a way that brings collaboration to life, and a way in which students will come to own most of the talking and interactions. The value and effectiveness of collaborative structures will increase throughout the year as teachers and students become more comfortable with these structures, eventually allowing teachers to tweak or enhance the current collaborative structures to better meet the needs of the group or the task at hand.

Writing in the margins challenges students to think about and clarify ideas in a text as they read. The focus for the notes in the margin depends on the purpose for reading and what will follow (e.g., discussions or writing assignments). This practice is often included in close reading and other critical reading strategies.

A word wall (or word bank) is a collection of words displayed either alphabetically or in subject-specific clusters, in large visible letters on a wall or other display surface readily visible to students. The word wall is designed to be an interactive tool for students and contains a variety of words that can be used during writing, speaking, listening, and reading in any subject area.

Philosophical Chairs is a structured form of academic discourse which relies on a prompt as the foundation for discussion and informed debate. It is a form of dialogue in which students develop a deeper understanding of a text or subject. This strategy gives students opportunities to improve verbal capability and fluency, as well as develop skills in the precise use of academic language.

Social contracts are one of the foundational components of developing relational capacity. They outline the rights and responsibilities of each member of the group. A social contract should be developed early, referred to often, and refined as necessary throughout the year.

Sometimes simply getting started speaking or writing is the most difficult part of a task. Many students benefit from the use of sentence frames or language scripts to jump start their thinking.
