Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics by Peter Liljedahl has taken the mathematics education world by storm for its innovative pedagogical approach transforming classrooms into thinking classrooms.
For an educator starting to build or already has the blended, self-paced, and mastery-based learning structures in place, the thought of integrating additional strategies can feel daunting and redundant. So why should an educator implement building thinking classrooms practices? If so, how are the practices best applied in a student-centered classroom?
This edWebinar dives into the what, why, and how of implementing building thinking classrooms practices within the blended, self-paced, mastery-based learning structures of a blended, self-paced, and mastery-based learning.
We explore:
- The 14 elements and 4 implementation toolkits of Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics by Peter Liljedahl
- The rationale for instructional pedagogy that balances collaborative and independent learning to support deeper learning
- Practical integration of building thinking classrooms practices in a blended, self-paced, mastery-based learning structure
- When the practices can be implemented
- How to scaffold implementation efficacy through the four toolkits
- What a teacher can do to start tomorrow
Discover how to bring the best of two worlds together for the benefit of student learning. Leave with actionable steps to integrate building thinking classroom practices in your classroom! This recorded edWebinar is of interest to teachers, school leaders, district leaders, and education technology leaders of all grade levels.
