This Summer Institute grows out of the explosion of interest in how teachers can best build a culture of thinking in their classrooms, nurture students as powerful thinkers and learners, and make thinking visible. When used powerfully, thinking routines not only provide teachers with a set of practices to engage students, but help advance a broader goal to create classrooms where students’ thinking is visible, valued, and actively promoted.

In this two-hour workshop, participants will learn what co-creating classroom culture can look like in online spaces, discuss opportunities available with virtual learning (while being realistic about some of the challenges), practice with some tools for connection and co-creation of classroom culture, and design next steps to prepare for the school year.
