Building Thinking Classrooms in the Post-Secondary Context

Details

Peter Liljedahl's book Building Thinking Classrooms provides a roadmap for teachers to "get more students thinking, thinking more, thinking longer." In this OLSUME seminar, Peter Liljedahl will outline the principles of his book and dive into several of the 14 teaching practices that research shows optimize conditions for students to think, which increases their engagement and learning. Building Thinking Classrooms has a large K-12 audience, but the ambitious goals and research-based strategies can also help frame instruction for math educators in a higher education context. Christine von Renesse and April Strom will share how they leverage these strategies in their college classrooms.
