Building Thinking Classrooms Part One: Shifting to a Thinking Culture (9/3/25)
Audience: TK-12 Educators & Coaches beginning or refining their initial implementation of Chapters 1-8 & 12
Join Chelsea McClellan, Math Specialist, as we focus on the practices that build the culture of your thinking classroom.
· Experience a thinking classroom as a learner.
· Explore the first 8 practices that shift your students’ non-thinking behaviors (slacking, stalling, faking, and mimicking) into true cognitive engagement.
· Gain valuable resources as you plan for implementation and explore ready-to-go rich thinking tasks.
· Learn how to strategically embed SEL (Social & Emotional Learning) to unlock empathy while building self and social awareness, self-management, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.
· Connect this shift to the the guidance suggested in the 2023 Math Framework.
Lunch will be provided and served from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm.
