We will explore three techniques for thin-slicing, which the teachers at our school have dubbed: sliced complexity, sliced chunks, and sliced scaffolds. Participants will come away with an understanding of how and why to use each each technique, and how to blend them in order to build their toolkit for thin-sliced Building Thinking Classroom tasks that are accessible, engaging, and sequenced to lead students from the familiar to the new while fostering autonomy.
