This two in-person professional learning opportunity will implement Peter Liljedahl’s Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics (Grades K-12) strategies to discuss and explore both macro and micro moves focused on classroom environment, building a learning community, and designing motivating tasks for problem solving.
