I've read a few articles, and I can see that this is a top-notch eJournal. I've subscribed. The article re: Harkness was nice, mainly because it confirmed some of the practices that I've already put into place. Unfortunately, my classes are larger (they range from 16 to 22 this year). I'm worried about what next year will look like as I hope to use discussion as my primary tactic (at least 45 minutes per class). My biggest concern is always whether or not the students are really grappling with the text. I'm constantly having to get them away from generalizations, hoping to move them toward really engaging with the text in a more specific way. Thanks for pointing me to Independent Teacher.
