🧵Over the past 8 years, we’ve been building this platform with the goal to provide the best experience for class discussions.

As we listened and learned from many incredible educators, a question kept coming up...

Could we run entirely discussion-based courses on Parlay?

As teachers used Parlay online during covid, we got a glimpse of how we might facilitate learning experiences entirely on Parlay.

So... we built Parlay Seminars! Discussion-based mini courses where where teens read a classic text & develop skills to thrive in the world.

Each week, students read a section of the text, write their initial ideas, get feedback from their peers in a Written RoundTable & participate in one Verbal RoundTable.

For teens, we’re offering 8 courses this summer & Fall.

Each one is centered around a classic text (1984, Frankenstein, The Great Gatsby etc.) or a current event (the upcoming election!)

For educators, we're offering the opportunity to experience a Parlay Seminar as a student. Through weekly discussions, you will explore the Parlay methodology more deeply over 5 weeks with other Parlay educators!
