Katherine Cadwell Publications on Harkness

On this page there are links to some of the articles  I have written about my experiences with Harkness in a variety of classroom settings. With the current pandemic  limiting face to face interactions in the classroom, I am  working with students to do Harkness discussions online, and I write about this experience here.
