Building Thinking Classrooms in Math, Toolkit 2, Networking and Collaboration, grades K-5
Do you strive to help students go beyond rote memorization and repetitive calculations? Many traditional classroom norms and habits actually enable "non-thinking" student behavior. In Toolkit 2, we examine specific teaching practices that will fine tune the thinking classroom.
This is a session in a series of workshops designed to introduce participants to the 14 teaching practices enhancing learning outlined in Peter Liljedahl's book, Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics. He recommends a gradual implementation of the practice, so that's how this series is designed.
This 6 hour course will go over Toolkit 2 for 3 hours. Then allow teachers to network and collaborate with other teachers on how to implement Toolkit 2 in their classrooms for 3 hours.
