5.2.7 Building a Culture of Thinkers for Every Learner
How would an autonomous, chatter-filled classroom that produces confident, deeply introspective students look? This session aims to answer that question through an interactive workshop that will define a classroom culture that leads to student success and give the instructional leader opportunities to create such a setting. Cooperative groups will build relevant, meaningful lessons that elicit the highest level of thinking using the research-based Talents Unlimited model as a best practice to provide a framework for infusing critical and creative thinking in every aspect of student learning.
