Building Thinking Classrooms in Math, Toolkit 1, Networking and Collaboration, grades 6-12
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 1, we set the stage for transforming the classroom into one focused on learning-centered, student-owned deep mathematical thinking and learning.
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.
