Building Thinking Classrooms Implementation

Help me give my students the mobile dry erase boards and Building Thinking Classrooms Bundles we need to begin implementing Building Thinking Classroom strategies that increase student discourse, differentiation, and align with the instructional practices they will encounter in our school.

My Project

These resources will allow students to collaborate in groups of 2 or 3 to solve problems on vertical dry erase boards. The dry erase boards will immediately become an essential part of the classroom. Student responses will be used to drive conversation and instruction during lessons. The books will help teachers to train on how to use Building Thinking Classrooms in all subject areas to increase academic discourse, rigor, movement, and differentiation.

Our middle school uses Building Thinking Classroom strategies in every class.

Early experience with these strategies will give our students an advantage as they transition to middle school.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
