<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For today&#8217;s students, discussion skills are critical. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yet, as teachers know too well: engaging introverts and extroverts in class discussion can be a challenge. Our research and methods show that it&#8217;s possible &#8212; and students see the impact immediately. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this whitepaper, we examine:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Current research on how introverted and extroverted students learn</li>



<li>How the &#8220;typical&#8221; classroom works against introverts</li>



<li>Why it&#8217;s important for students of all temperaments to learn to speak &#8212; and listen</li>



<li>How R.E.A.L.® Discussion helps build skills and a sense of belonging for introverts and extroverts &#8212; <strong>at the same time!</strong></li>
</ul>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">An AI revolution, characterized by increased interactions between humans and machines. In an AI-dominated world, do students still <strong>need</strong> to learn how to have in-person conversations with other humans?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our answer: a resounding yes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this whitepaper, we examine:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>What AI can do</strong> &#8212; and how it can help augment class discussions</li>



<li><strong>What AI can&#8217;t do</strong> &#8212; and how an over-reliance on it can be detrimental</li>



<li>The true (and new!) <strong>purpose of class discussion</strong> in this brave new world</li>
</ul>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Have you noticed that kids today aren&#8217;t talking to each other?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We have. We see that today&#8217;s teens are <em>connecting</em> with each other, certainly &#8212; they spend hours interacting with one another from behind the comfort (and, at times, the agony) of their screens. Yet when kids are off-screen, together, they struggle to talk &#8212; and listen. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this whitepaper, we:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Explore Gen Z&#8217;s current communication habits and examine how they relate to wellbeing</li>



<li>Examine the mental state of today&#8217;s teens</li>



<li>Consider how explicitly teaching in-person communication skills in schools could help today&#8217;s students</li>



<li>Discuss the role &#8212; and power! &#8212; teachers can have in reversing this teen &#8220;Communication Crisis&#8221;</li>
</ul>
