For those of you who are interested in seeing what a BTC lesson looks like, the Dutch BTC website has just posted some amazing classroom videos of Maarten Müller doing a convergent and a divergent lesson. They are in Dutch but the visuals are amazing. buildingthinkingclassrooms.nl/beeld-en-geluid/
I've been taking a @btcthinks.bsky.social approach to teaching English this year.
Here's a task we did to uncover informal essay writing processes and thinking:

Thank you @mrshackett305.bsky.social for inspiring this @btcthinks.bsky.social lesson for #ENG2D.
I think exploring others' essay openings for how they engage readers helped inspire Ss' creative & personal writing.

An amazing week, indeed! I look forward to this curriculum getting approved and into BTC classrooms.
If you’re looking for online summer PD to boost student thinking and engagement, I am leading two live-virtual BTC cohorts with RocketPD this July/August - one on Math and the other Cross-Curricular. Join me in getting students to think. #BTCthinks rocketpd.com/instructor/d...
In these sessions, I'll share proven strategies to equip and empower teachers, inspiring and facilitating change to create thriving learning environments where students engage deeply with mathematics. [2/3]
I'm heading to Australia in August and am excited to partner with the Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers for two workshops on Leadership for Building Thinking Classrooms. [1/3] #BTCthinks

Ignoring difficulty level (basic, int, adv), here’s what grading a complex assessment Q can look like when we place more importance on OUTCOMES vs. a single event grade. Outcomes tell what Ss know & still need to master. youtube.com/shorts/g2E-e... @pgliljedahl.bsky.social @btcthinks.bsky.social

If you believe students don’t have math trauma, test that theory by having them write a mathematical autobiography. I learned so much about who they are and what they bring to the classroom. BTC as math therapy, merging the work of @themathguru.bsky.social and @pgliljedahl.bsky.social this semester
I am very excited about this partnership. I want students to think. Innovamat is a curriculum built from the ground up with the same goal in mind. With Innovamat, building a thinking classroom is easy.
