Workshop full? Join the waitlist

At this full day training (8 am - 3 pm), K-12 Teachers will experience Building Thinking Classrooms (BTC) math practices.

Across the US and in Oregon, there is growing teacher enthusiasm around BTC practices. In a BTC classroom, K-12 students work on math tasks in collaborative teams. Fifteen years of research backs up these approaches: students engage more, learn more, and get excited about math.

Oregon K-12 Teachers are welcome to this free event, hosted by Clackamas ESD Math Specialist, Lori MacKenzie

You will:

Personally experience a BTC activity, in the role of a student
Learn about BTC Practices in "Toolkit 1"
Visit middle school BTC classrooms
Ask students and educators questions about the impacts of BTC
Prepare both non-curricular and curricular tasks for classroom use (bring at least one lesson/unit from your math curriculum!)

Notes:

This event will be hosted at Gardiner Middle School in Oregon City School District. You can arrive as early as 7:30 am; A room will be open for participants who needs a work space before the workshop starts.
We will have light breakfast items and lunch will be provided. Indicate dietary needs in the registration survey. We will follow up after registration with lunch information.
