THE SOCRATIC SEMINAR:
A Long-Established Instructional Practice Fits Well Into Today's Instructional Ethos
In the picture above, Lori Franzen leads a group of 6-12 teachers in the practice of conducting effective Socratic Seminars. Ms. Franzen is an expert in this field.
Student Talk can be one of the most effective classroom outputs a teacher can expect from a learner. Talking, qualifying, explaining, and questioning are all rigorous cognitive tasks that require students to make connections and prove with evidence as they further an idea, argue, or stake a claim. Socratic Seminars can be an excellent way to foster Student Talk, but it's not as simple a practice as it sounds. In fact, many teachers can become flustered with long periods of silence; and students sometimes "participate for participation's sake" when in the midst of a Student Talk mandate like a Socratic Seminar. Luckily for Los Al, we have a growing number of expert practitioners skilled in the art of Student Talk. So, whether it be through Instructional Rounds or Staff Development, feel encouraged to explore Socratic Seminaring soon!

16 SOFTBALL SCHOLARSHIPS AND COUNTING:
As Softball Season Begins, Check Out These Already-Amazing Accomplishments!!! 
Los Al Softball has set a program record and currently have 16 of their 22 Varsity players either "verballed" or committed to Division 1 and 2 schools! Considering that less that 1% of all high school softball players nationally will get the opportunity to play at a Division 1 school, it is quite impressive that we have 13 on our roster.

In April, LAHS will be participating in the Every 15 Minutes program to raise awareness about the impact of driving drunk or impaired. Our student and staff production team is asking you to help as a community by sharing real-life stories. If you have lost a friend or loved one, or know someone injured or otherwise seriously affected by an impaired-driving vehicle accident, the team would appreciate hearing your story so that it can made part of the film at the heart of the program. This is a serious issue, and Los Al is committed to making a difference in the fight against drunk/impaired/distracted driving.
