What is the Harkness method of teaching and learning?
"Discussion based teaching, also called the Harkness method challenges students to sit at the center of education, making meaning of new information together, talking, listening, and ultimately thinking. Introducing this style of learning, in which no student can hide, can be difficult if students aren’t used to it, and making sure it’s productive also presents challenges. However, once included in a curriculum it allows students to more deeply understand material and think for themselves. Dr. Brian Mullgardt, Milliken University, 2008
