Who it's for

Topics

Culture is built on the values and beliefs and embedded in the messages we send learners both implicitly and explicitly.

Lasting transformation begins by embracing a set of beliefs where thinking is valued, visible, and actively promoted. This course supports educators to explore both the eight cultural forces and 10 mindsets that support deeper learning and thinking. Practice building a foundation for a culture of thinking within your team and develop action steps to build the culture in your classroom and school.

Overview

• Practice building a foundation for a culture of thinking within your team, developing supportive "ways of being" together
• Dive into the principles of thinking, learning, and community
• Develop action steps you can implement as you seek to turn your classroom, school, or other learning context into a community where thinking is valued, visible, and actively promoted

Who Should Participate

• Teachers, teacher leaders, and school administrators and leaders
