Powerful Thinking: Engaging Readers and Building Knowledge in Elementary Classrooms

In the age of inquiry-based learning, how do we create a learning environment where students are re-thinking rather than simply re-telling? How do we provide enough structure and flexibility for students to explore, stretch, and reflect on their thinking? In this webinar, BC teacher and author Adrienne Gear will share ideas from her new book Powerful Thinking that will engage your students in constructing meaning and deepening understanding in all areas of the curriculum. She will share practical ways to help bring knowledge-building into classrooms, using texts as tools to nudge students’ thinking through engaged listening and talking. Come to this session and leave inspired to bring thinking into every corner of your classroom!

Intended Audience – Gr. 1-6, Support/Resource Teachers, Teacher Librarians but ALL are welcome!
