Building Thinking Classrooms Conference 2026

What if the most powerful coaching move isn’t observing and giving feedback—but stepping into the work alongside teachers? Join BTC team members for an interactive session that reimagines coaching through a Building Thinking Classrooms lens. We will focus on shifting from the traditional observation-feedback cycle to student-centered co-teaching. Grounded in research and classroom practice, this session introduces a 3-part coaching model that positions coaches and teachers as collaborative partners in planning, teaching, and reflection. Together we’ll explore how co-teaching can deepen teacher learning, center student thinking, and create more meaningful and sustainable instructional change in mathematics classrooms. Whether you’re a coach, math specialist, instructional leader, or administrator supporting BTC implementation, you’ll leave with practical co-planning tools, reflection prompts, and a replicable framework for strengthening coaching partnerships and supporting teacher growth.
