SUMMARY:Building Thinking Classrooms: Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Part 2 of Build a Thinking Classroom for K-12 will dig deeper into the 14 practices and effective implementation strategies\n\n\nBuilding Thinking Classrooms: Part 2 \nThis is not for novices or anyone new to BTC. You must be a K-12 educator or leader who has completed BTC: Part 1 OR you have read the book and are actively attempting to implement the first three toolkits. \nCome engage in a professional learning community to learn more about a thinking classroom and collaborate with peers to share ideas and implementation strategies. A thinking student is an engaged student! \nBuilt on 14 key practices teased out over 15 years of research\, it’s a way of teaching that gets students up on their feet\, collaborating and thinking through challenging problems on a daily basis. \nA thinking classroom looks very different from a typical classroom. Students are working in groups rather than individually\, they are standing rather than sitting\, and the furniture is arranged so as to defront the room. Closer inspection will reveal that the teacher is giving instructions verbally\, is answering fewer questions\, and has drastically altered the way they give “homework.” \nPart 2 focuses on the fine tuning implementation of the first eleven practices and delving into the assessment practices from the following chapters: \nChapter 12: What We Choose to Evaluate in a Thinking Classroom \nChapter 13: How We Use Formative Assessment in a Thinking Classroom \nChapter 14: How We Grade in a Thinking Classroom \nAll participants are expected to bring their own copy of Building Thinking Classroom In Mathematics\, 14 Teaching Practices for Enhanced Learning. \nAudience: K-12 educators and leaders who have completed BTC: Part 1 OR you have read the book and are actively attempting to implement the first three toolkits. \nWhen: February 7\, March 5\, 2025\, April 1\, 2025 \nPrice: $450/participant; Administrators may attend with the teacher(s) from their district/building at no additional cost. \nLocation: Allegheny Intermediate Unit\, 475 E. Waterfront Drive\, Homestead\, PA 15120 \nAct 48 hours will be awarded pending approval by PDE for those who attend all sessions and complete related assignments. \nDon’t miss out on this opportunity to learn and grow! See you there at East Waterfront Drive\, Homestead\, PA\, USA.

SUMMARY:Elementary Science Symposium
DESCRIPTION:You know kids learn science best by engaging in the subject from an early age\, but how do we find time\, and how do we teach it these days?\nScience and engineering education is undergoing a transformation (Kober et al\, 2023). We all know that children learn science best by engaging in the subject from an early age in the way that scientists and engineers do\, but… \n\nHow can we find the time to teach science consistently and in a phenomenon-based\, three-dimensional way in K through 5?\nWhat does it look and sound like in an elementary science classroom these days?\nHow can we possible teach all the math and ELA we have to teach and still find time for science?\nThere are environmental literacy standards now\, too?! What?\n\nIf you’ve asked yourself any of those questions (or others about elementary science) since the release of the PA STEELS (Science\, Technology & Engineering\, Environmental Literacy & Sustainability) standards in July\, 2022\, then you can benefit from joining the Allegheny Intermediate Unit Math & Science Collaborative at the Elementary Science Symposium. \nCost: Free. Breakfast and lunch will be provided. \n

SUMMARY:Building Thinking Classrooms: Part 1
DESCRIPTION:If your students lack confidence and/or motivation to engage in mathematics\, come learn how to Build a Thinking Classroom for K-12.\n\n\nBuilding Thinking Classrooms: Part 1 \nDo your students lack confidence and/or motivation to do mathematics? \nAre your students content to wait for the right answer from the teacher? \nDo your students lack perseverance when the answer is not immediately obvious? \nIf so\, come engage in a professional learning community to learn more about a thinking classroom and collaborate with peers to share ideas and implementation strategies. A thinking student is an engaged student! \nBuilt on 14 key practices teased out over 15 years of research\, it’s a way of teaching that gets students up on their feet\, collaborating and thinking through challenging problems on a daily basis. \nA thinking classroom looks very different from a typical classroom. Students are working in groups rather than individually\, they are standing rather than sitting\, and the furniture is arranged so as to defront the room. Closer inspection will reveal that the teacher is giving instructions verbally\, is answering fewer questions\, and has drastically altered the way they give “homework.” \nPart 1 focuses on the following practices: \nWhat Types of Tasks We Use \nHow We Form Collaborative Groups \nWhere Students Work \nHow We Arrange Furniture \nHow We Answer Questions \nWhen\, Where\, and How Tasks are Given \nWhat Homework Looks Like \nHow We Foster Student Autonomy \nHow We Use Hints and Extensions \nHow We Consolidate a Lesson \nHow Students Take Notes \nAll participants receive the book\, Building Thinking Classroom In Mathematics\, 14 Teaching Practices for Enhanced Learning. \nAudience: K-12 educators and leaders \nWhen: October 1\, October 29\, and December 3\, 2024 \nPrice: $450/participant*; Administrators may attend with the teacher(s) from their district/building at no additional cost \n*The cost includes a copy of the book\, Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics by Peter Liljedahl \nLocation: Allegheny Intermediate Unit\, 475 E. Waterfront Drive\, Homestead\, PA 15120 \nAct 48 hours will be awarded pending approval by PDE for those who attend all sessions and complete related assignments. \n**Part 2 of BTC will be offered in Spring 2025.
