This session is designed for secondary educators and focuses on using Depth and Complexity strategies to promote purposeful talk and increase student engagement. Participants will explore how to move beyond surface-level responses by embedding icons into structured questioning routines such as Think-Pair-Share, Socratic Seminars, and Accountable Talk.
Teachers will learn how to make student thinking visible and transferable across content areas while strengthening student discourse and participation. Additionally, the session will emphasize designing learning experiences that balance critical and creative thinking, supporting students in analyzing, justifying, and extending their ideas while also encouraging multiple perspectives and original thinking.
Fees: $0 (G/T Co-op) | $125 (Non-Co-op)
