Such a great combination of research and classroom applications for preparing my teaching a new group of students. So many doable math examples to take back to my class." One review stating: "
One review stating: "This institute has been informative, engaging, and hands on. The learning we have done on Building Thinking Classrooms has empowered us to make a major change in mathematics instruction. I am so excited!" One review stating: "The time spent at the 3-day Summer Institute was actually worth it! Learning about Building Thinking Classrooms was practical and something I will implement to engage students to think so they can learn."
One review stating: "This has been the most engaging and impactful PD that I have been to. I can only imagine the impact it will bring to my classroom. These instructors were engaging and relatable!

One review stating: "Awesome three days, I’m glad I was able to participate and take away more tips, tricks, and lessons to best serve my kiddos!" One review stating: "Attending ICMP training has helped me find new resources to support all students in math."
One review stating: "Thank you for this amazing training. I have walked away with lots of new knowledge!" One review stating: "I loved learning about Cognitively Guided Instruction, especially regarding approached to solving and exploring word problems, and counting collections!"
One review stating: "I love this training. The conversations are rich across grade levels. BTC is making me think about my lessons and breathing life back into my profession."

One review stating: "It is time to make the shift! No better time than NOW. This is an exciting time in mathematics!" One review stating: "I loved attending the Building Thinking Classrooms math training with RCOE! I look forward to reading the book and applying the principles to my coaching and instruction. The training was hands-on, engaging, and practical."
One review stating: "CGI is a great way to solve our math crisis. If more teachers could just see it in practice at least once, they’d be convinced." One review stating: "The Building Thinking Classrooms training was so well done. The presenters were informative and used great strategies to keep everyone engaged. They used BTC strategies with us multiple times, allowing many opportunities to learn the skills."
One review stating: "This has been a phenomenal experience. This took what I already “thought” I was doing and tweaked it and made it MAGICAL! The fact that this is research based and not just a regurgitation of someone else’s idea was very refreshing. Thank you for providing a worthwhile, informative, useful training." One review stating: "The BTC Summer Institute was an eye-opening experience regarding student learning. The way we have been taught and the way we have been teaching has been challenged by the data supporting students learning in visibly randomized groups, standing at vertical non-permanent surfaces, actually thinking, and problem-solving for themselves."
One review stating: "Do it! The amount of information you receive will give you such insight into the way thinking has changed when it comes to math." One review stating: "I am glad I took advantage of this opportunity to learn new ideas to help my math community in my classroom and at my school. Our presenters and their knowledge I look forward to taking back for the school year."
One review stating: "It was a fantastic experience meeting like-minded educators and expanding the tools available to foster student engagement. I plan to utilize several techniques and activities from the session in my classroom, and I would encourage all math teachers and admin to attend. Together, we can truly build a math community for all!" One review stating: "I was told ‘math is fun’ and ‘ain’t no party like a math party’ first thing on day one. Not being a lover of math, I was hesitant to believe it. After completing these 3 days, I feel more confident in teaching math and setting up a thinking classroom."
