This summer we will have two 3 day institutes.
Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics
This Grade 4-12 Institute is about bringing teachers together after yet another hectic and stressful academic year in order to figure out the next steps. We will work together to build ways to foster student's ability to think independently.
Topics included:
Evaluating the specific tasks that promote thinking classrooms.
How do we arrange the physical space in a Thinking Classroom to facilitate thinking autonomy?
What does homework look like in a Thinking Classroom?
How do we develop student autonomy in a Thinking Classroom?
How do we reframe student evaluation in a Thinking Classroom?
Early Childhood Education
With radical changes coming to Early Childhood Education because of the introduction of UPK (Universal Pre-Kindgarten) and TK (Transitional Kindergarten) many teachers have more questions than ever about how to provide their students with opportunities that allow students to become adept with counting. This workshop will handle a host of ways to engage with developing student counting ability.
