Description: What if every student had a structure to clarify, communicate, and build on their thinking—every day, in every subject? This interactive session introduces powerful thinking routines that promote deeper learning and academic discourse across K–12 classrooms. Participants will explore routines like See-Think-Wonder, Claim-Support-Question, and Connect-Extend-Challenge, and learn how to embed them into existing lessons. Through modeling, practice, and planning time, teachers will leave with ready-to-use strategies and a clear implementation plan tailored to their content area. Whether you're new to thinking routines or looking to refine your practice, this session will equip you with tools to make student thinking visible, accessible, and meaningful.
