Building Thinking Classrooms Conference 2026

What does it take to bring Building Thinking Classrooms to life across multiple schools? This session shares lessons learned from coaching 4th and 5th grade teachers in 13 elementary schools across a district as they implemented BTC practices. Participants will explore tools for supporting teachers— including a customizable coaching sheet, look-fors, and communication strategies for administrators— and reflect on how to sustain momentum district-wide. Walk away with concrete ideas for planning, scheduling, and coaching thinking classrooms at scale.
