Provide students with solid opportunities for student-led discussion. Our teachers have been receiving training to integrate this in their classrooms, especially in our history, literature, Bible, and rhetoric classes. In Grades 10-12, students should be encouraged to initiate respectful dialogue with each other, under the observation and supervision of a well-prepared teacher, to seek out God's truth in these subjects.
Encourage students to draw upon prior learning in discussion participation. Once student discussion is informed from Scripture and previous learning, students begin to converse intelligently about things that make a difference in today's world, from a biblical perspective.
Give students an opportunity to utilize solid techniques of persuasion during discussion. As students grow in their ability to understand and reason in truth, it is only logical that they would perfect their ability to become persuasive in truth, too.
