60-MINUTE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SESSION

Using Thinking Routines to Teach Students How to Learn Science

Check out this free on-demand webinar that discusses the use of thinking routines to enhance science learning K-8.

In this session we’ll learn:

  • Importance of creating a classroom environment that promotes thinking and engagement
  • Role of trust in students' abilities to learn and the need for teachers to release responsibility and create an environment that fosters curiosity, struggle, and connections
  • Two thinking routines: picture thinking and concept mapping, and explain how these routines can help students make connections, reason with evidence, and develop a deeper understanding of scientific concepts

Learn how teachers can use thinking routines to make thinking visible to students and themselves while creating a culture of risk-taking and collaboration.
