Can We Build A Thinking Classroom & Still Maintain Rigor - A Math Mentoring Moment
Manage episode 395489041 series 2471185
Today we speak with Michael Finley, the academic dean for math and science at a K-12 independent school.
Michael's staff is questioning their work in building thinking classrooms and how it serves high achieving students.
Listen in as we brainstorm strategies to uncover micro moves and macro plans to build a classroom culture that allows a thinking classroom to emerge.
This is another Math Mentoring Moment episode where we chat with a teacher like you who is working through some problems of practice and together we brainstorm ways to overcome them.
You’ll Learn:
- How to move quickly on a new initiative while ensuring all educators are coming along for the ride;
- Why facilitating a Thinking Classroom in mathematics effectively involves a significant amount of nuance;
- Why intentionality is even more important when facilitating a Thinking Classroom than it was when leading a gradual release of responsibility lesson;
- What is the true definition of rigor?
Resources:
District Math Leaders:
How are you ensuring that you support those educators who need a nudge to spark a focus on growing their pedagogical-content knowledge?
What about opportunities for those who are eager and willing to elevate their practice, but do not have the support?
Book a call with our District Improvement Program Team to learn how we can not only help you craft, refine and implement your district math learning goals, but also provide all of the professional learning supports your educators need to grow at the speed of their learning.
