Other Professional Development Offerings

•  Making Thinking Visible:

Have you ever wondered what goes through your students’ minds as they think through problems and grapple with difficult challenges? Are you looking for ways to cultivate higher order thinking and make it routine in your classroom? 

• Growing Growth Mindset in your Classroom: 

Have you ever heard about Growth Mindset? Carol Dweck’s research on helping students learn to persist through challenges and learn from the process is important as we work to instill these characteristics in students.  This session will define Growth Mindset and provide strategies to incorporate persistence and grit into daily classroom instruction.
