In this workshop, participants will set the foundation for creating a thinking classroom culture. By incorporating these strategies into our teaching practice,we can maximize engagement and thinking as well as create a classroom environment that nurtures curiosity, problem-solving, and collaboration among students. The practices discussed will intertwine with, and make extensive references to, the recently published book, Building Thinking Classrooms (Grades K-12): 14 Teaching Practices for Enhancing Learning.
The research on Building Thinking Classrooms shows that when students work on thinking tasks in random groups on a vertical whiteboard, they are capable of co-creating incredible amounts of mathematical meaning and collective knowing-and-doing. In this session, participants will look at the Thinking Classroom practices that help students move this collective knowing-and-doing into individual knowing-and-doing while, at the same time, beginning to take responsibility for their own learning. The practices discussed will intertwine with, and make extensive references to, the recently published book, Building Thinking Classrooms (Grades K-12): 14 Teaching Practices for Enhancing Learning.
This session will review the six components of structured literacy. In addition, teachers will be given resources for all six areas of structured literacy.

Join us for an interactive professional development session aimed at providing educators with essential strategies for effectively managing acting out behavior at Tier III. This session will delve into the complexities of acting out behavior and equip educators with a deeper understanding of the acting out cycle to inform targeted interventions. Participants will explore practical techniques and evidence-based practices for addressing acting out behavior, with a focus on proactive and reactive strategies to promote positive outcomes for students. Through case studies, role-playing scenarios, and collaborative discussions, educators will learn how to identify triggers, de-escalate crisis situations, and implement personalized intervention plans tailored to meet the unique needs of students.
Embark on a transformative journey with us in this dynamic professional development session, centered on the critical importance of explicitly teaching Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) using the innovative resource, Character Strong. As educators, we recognize the profound impact SEL has on student success, both academically and personally. This session will empower you with the knowledge and tools to integrate SEL seamlessly into your curriculum, fostering a positive school climate and empowering students to thrive emotionally, socially, and academically.
