Whiteboards to Build Thinking

Help me give my students 6 wall-mounted whiteboards to foster collaborative problem-solving and visible thinking, as encouraged in Building Thinking Classrooms, which highlights the benefits of vertical, non-permanent surfaces for deeper engagement and learning.

My Project

I love how curious, creative, and collaborative my students are. They thrive when given opportunities to talk, explore, and work through problems together. Watching them make discoveries, support each other, and grow in confidence is one of the best parts of teaching. I want to give them a learning environment that matches their energy and potential.

Research from Building Thinking Classrooms shows that when students use vertical, non-permanent surfaces like whiteboards, students engage more deeply, take more risks, and develop stronger problem-solving skills.

With six wall-mounted whiteboards, I can create spaces where every group is up, thinking, and communicating. These whiteboards will turn our walls into tools for thinking and help every student actively participate in their learning.
