Harkness Teaching is “An approach to education that inculcates a culture of enquiry, driven by students in dialogue around a table, the Harkness Method is partly inspired by the Oxford tutorial system and the Socratic concept of dialogue. However, Harkness departs from there to a radical classroom dynamic in which the teacher is required to be more open-minded and less controlling over outcomes, to take the risk of listening more and saying less.”
