What happens when we shift the focus from getting answers to developing thinkers? K–5 educators dive into the pedagogy of Building Thinking Classrooms (BTC) and what it really looks like in elementary settings.
These passionate practitioners will unpack what BTC is, what drew them to this approach, and how it has transformed the way their students engage with learning. Through honest conversation, panelists will share both the bright spots and the bumps along the way… from fostering deeper student thinking and collaboration to navigating the real challenges of implementation.
Expect practical insights, classroom-ready ideas and authentic stories that highlight the power of putting thinking at the center of instruction. Whether you’re BTC-curious or already experimenting in your own classroom, this session offers inspiration, reassurance and a few “me too!” moments.
Come explore how even our youngest learners can do big thinking and how you can help make it happen.
