What does he mean with the distinction of dialogue as a vehicle for curriculum and dialogue or dialogic skills being the actual goal of curriculum?

“Listening to Strangers” by Walter Parker.
Approach your reading of the article with the following questions in mind:
Why does he say schools are both an ideal and essential place to deal with, learn about, and support democracy?
What does he mean with the distinction of dialogue as a vehicle for curriculum and dialogue or dialogic skills being the actual goal of curriculum?
What is the difference between dialoguing to learn and dialoguing to act?
Why does he emphasize the importance of “listening” as much as speaking (or shouting) in a democracy?
To connect different readings so far, how might deep, active listening be a critical part of wide awakeness?
Why might listening, less obviously, be a key practice in learning to be a “student of your students?”
How might listening also, and maybe less obviously, help students (and teachers) with the cultural luggage they bring to school?

For your response paper, follow the same expectations as the first one:
Provide a concise summary of the reading to which you are responding (Parker or Greene from last week).
As part of the summary, introduce and define a key term.
Use the remainder of the response to develop your personal position/reaction to the main issue in your summary.

Cite an outside source that helps you develop your response.
