Session Description

This session will focus on implementing pedagogy discussed in the book 'Building Thinking Classrooms' by Peter Liljedahl. Information will be provided around first steps on implementing the toolkits of a thinking classroom, with reflections on the journey of two teachers in a secondary school. Participants will be given practical advice on considerations to be made when starting to move students from mimickers to thinkers. Authentic tasks will be run using the BTC model to give participants a taster of teacher and student moves that will support successful change in practice.

Key takeaways:
1. What is the BTC model?
2. Key steps in implementing the 4 toolkits.
3. The importance of building classroom culture.
