Today's classrooms are often shaped by institutional norms rooted in the industrial-age paradigm. This approach fosters a culture of passive content consumption rather than deep engagement in learning. Dr. Liljedahl's extensive 15-year research journey has transformed teaching practices from mimicking to active thinking. His groundbreaking book, "Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics (Grades K-12): 14 Teaching Practices for Enhancing Learning," has quickly become a best-seller. In this interactive session, I will introduce you to some of the fine-tuning approaches in the 'Building Thinking Classrooms' framework. Drawing from over a decade of experience implementing these practices, I will highlight the profound advantages of prioritizing active thinking over content dissemination during classes, and ways we can improve implementation of the practices. Join me as we explore a new dimension of learning that is both inspiring and accessible to all.
