2025 MidSchoolMath National Conference

Cultivating thinking classrooms requires more than just curriculum; it’s a culture shift…from passive compliance to active engagement and a mindset shift…from fixed expectations to growth opportunities.  A “Thinking Classroom” is the intentional result of data-driven decisions made by “Thinking Educators” who are supported by “Thinking Administrators” who understand that thinking is hard work, but so rewarding and well worth the time it takes nurture.  

Join us in this interactive session, as we explore how administrators, coaches, and teachers can work together to make “thinking” the norm! Learn how to create a culture of deep mathematical inquiry that drives systemic change within your school community. You’ll gain practical strategies to empower teachers to foster independent thinkers rather than passive reflectors of information. Together, we’ll engage in discussions and activities that address major obstacles to building a thinking culture while highlighting shifts successful leaders and teachers make to sustain this transformation. By intentionally developing educators who think deeply about their own practices, you’ll consistently produce positive, lasting outcomes in student learning.

Caution: Lots of thinking required!
