At JHS 123: The Bronx Urban Community Magnet School, we trained and coached three teacher teams to implement Student-Teacher Dialogues between 2022 to 2024. The school is now continuing Dialogues on their own.
After a 30-week Dialogues Cycle supporting a 6th grade teacher team from 2022 to 2023:
10 of 10 positively adjusted aspects of their teaching
10 of 10 felt more supported when teaching
10 of 10 developed deeper relationships with their students
9 of 10 saw more students participate in class
9 of 10 saw classroom management improve
9 of 10 saw more students engage in learning
9 of 10 felt more supported seeing shared challenges across classes
Students reported a 30% increase in listening to their peers in class and a 26% increase in their teacher asking difficult questions, between fall and spring
