In this 5-day workshop, we focus on building thinking classrooms (BTC). Delve into the four research-based toolkits shown to foster active learning, engagement, and mathematical thinking in any classroom setting. Explore how to integrate the 3 Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Signature Practices into your routines, and how they can help you fine tune your thinking classroom by enhancing student belonging and motivation. Twice in this series, you will participate in a team-driven Task Study utilizing summer school classrooms. Deepen your understanding of the macro & micro moves found in the (BTC) practices so that you can apply them in your own classroom.

This universally designed professional learning series will provide an overview of Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Participants will explore the foundational concepts of UDL and how to design learning experiences through the lens of UDL to create more inclusive and equitable learning environments for all.

Co-author, Majalise Tolan, will facilitate this virtual professional learning series. The series will consist of six, 90-minute sessions based on the best-selling book She Leads: The Women's Guide to a Career in Educational Leadership by Dr. Rachael George and Majalise Tolan.
