Next Steps with Academic Conversations

Next Steps with Academic Conversations :
New Ideas for Improving Learning Through Classroom Talk

Jeff Zwiers

Jeff Zwiers, an educational researcher at Stanford University, has spent the last 15 years analysing classroom conversations to see how they can be better used and improved in classroom settings. Teachers who have worked with him report significant growth in students’ engagement, content learning, language, creativity and sense of agency.


Jeff shared his initial vision for classroom conversations in his 2011 book, Academic Conversations. In this follow-up book, Next Steps with Academic Conversations, he builds on those original ideas by offering:



an updated synthesis of conversation work across disciplines and grade levels

highlights of the most recent classroom-based research and theory on classroom conversation

answers to questions that have emerged during this work with teachers and administrators

new classroom strategies and practices for fostering and assessing classroom conversations


This resource is the product of his extensive research, co-teaching and collaborating with a wide range of educators. It was written for busy teachers who want a practical guide for strengthening the quality and quantity of productive conversations in their lessons.
