Teachers of science aim to establish inclusive dialogue in order to promote thinking and learning. Crucial to this is the chance for students to articulate their own ideas. Dialogic teaching necessitates fostering contexts in which students are confident to contribute. Research indicates that the'Talking Points' resource described and exemplified here can help students to think and talk about science topics in ways that enable every student to take part in subsequent dialogue. Teachers and students can create Talking Points to suit the current science focus of the classroom.
