This page is built around the pedagogical practices in the book, Building Thinking Classrooms by Peter Liljedahl (Executive Summary)
FYI #1 - While BTC began in a mathematics setting, is proving beneficial, engaging, and motivating in ALL content areas. This will change the status quo of our classroom, but it will be a process...a 'messy pancake' as our SCOE support folks would say.
FYI #2 - There are several BTC groups on Facebook. Just search "Building Thinking Classrooms" and you will see several content areas and grade levels represented. The original page is always good to follow too, no matter your content area.
Page still under construction... Thank you for your patience. Currently there are resources on our math pages linked here: Elementary & Secondary
