| Agenda: |
| Day 1: Building Thinking Classrooms |
| Much of how classrooms look and much of what happens in them today is guided by institutional norms laid down at the inception of an industrial-age model of public education. These norms have enabled a culture of teaching and learning that is often devoid of student thinking. In this workshop, participants will experience some of the results of over 15 years of research into how teachers can transform their classrooms from a space where students mimic to where students think. The practices discussed will intertwine with, and make extensive references to, the best-selling book, Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics (Grades K-12): 14 Teaching Practices for Enhancing Learning. |
| Day 2: A Deep Dive into the Heart of Building Thinking Classrooms: Thin-Slicing 101 |
| In this workshop participants will participate in thin-slicing a curricular topic for use in a thinking classroom. The workshop will dive deep into the pragmatics of thin-slicing as well as the theoretical, philosophical, and mathematical structures that thin-slicing is built upon and that makes it such an effective tool for covering content in a thinking classroom. The practices discussed will intertwine with, and make extensive references to, the recently published book, Mathematics Tasks for the Thinking Classrooms (K-5 and 6-12). |
