Building Thinking Classrooms in Math, Toolkit 3, 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 3, we begin creating flow in the classroom so you can truly reap the benefits of a thinking classroom.
This 6 hour course will have 3 hours dedicated to learning about Toolkit 1 and 3 hours networking and collaborating with other teachers.
This is one 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 practices, so that's how this series is designed.
