How cogenerative dialogues impact student achievement

Cogenerative dialogues (cogens) are structured, reflective conversations between the teacher and a small group of dissimilar students that can help the teacher “communicate effectively across cultural, social, ethnic and economic boundaries” (LaVan, 2004).

Students and the teacher co-develop strategies for instruction that focus on students’ socioemotional and academic needs. The dialogues enable open communication concerning both the teacher and students’ perspectives on schooling. “The net result is an environment where students feel valued and are comfortable taking intellectual risks” (Danielson, 2a, 2013)
