Now that you have explored the strategies of Building Thinking Classrooms (BTC), it is time to put theory into practice. In this course, we will connect with other educators who are also implementing BTC. We will meet virtually in small grade-band/level groups to collaborate with colleagues, share experiences, share resources and trouble-shoot areas of concern. Implementing BTC doesn't require a complete overhaul of your teaching style. Implementing BTC is about creating a culture of thinking where students feel empowered, engaged, and curious. What better way to embark on this journey than to share it together.
