Engage in an online book study of Teaching for Thinking this Fall! Authors Grace Kelemanik and Amy Lucenta are hosting an online professional development course. In this four-session book study, unpack ideas, learn, practice, and understand how a relatively small number of instructional routines can support high-quality mathematics classroom teaching and learning. Grace and Amy will share why they wrote the book, answer questions, and bring experience from their work in classrooms around the country. The book study begins on October 16.
Visit their site, Fostering Math Practices, for more professional development events, webinars, and coaching.
