Building Thinking Classrooms

February 19 and/or 20
9:00am - 3:30pm
Huxley Learning Center

Introduction to Building Thinking Classrooms
February 19

Join Chase Orton, a member of Peter Liljedahl's Building Thinking Classrooms team, for an interactive overview of some of the research-based teaching practices that will transform your mathematics classroom and get your students engaged, talking, thinking, and taking responsibility for their own learning. We will dive deep into BTC practices 1-6 and also experience a lesson framework you can use to teach your curriculum standards.

How We Extend the Collective Experience to Individual Understanding in a Thinking Classroom
February 20

You've built a culture of thinking in your classroom by using vertical surfaces, random groupings, and non-curricular tasks. Now it's time to learn about practice 7-11 and how to move students from collective knowing and doing to individual knowing and doing. Join Chase Orton, a member of Peter Liljedahl's Building Thinking Classrooms team, for this "Day 2" workshop where we help students foster the productive autonomy they need to take responsibility and ownership over their own learning.

Note from the facilitator, Chase Orton: I'm flexible if experienced BTC teachers want to attend Day 1. I'm also open to having highly motivated teachers take both sessions. Generally speaking, it's a bit much to take both if they haven't done some of the work already.
