Think & Do

Pacing guides, department deadlines, and end-of-year tests can lead us to believe that learning happens when we move fast through our curriculum. The result is a misguided feeling that we covered it and students learned it. When we give students more time to think and do, we prioritize deep understanding and we respect the fact that students are capable of incredible work if given the time. Join us for this resource-filled session where you’ll leave with tips, tools, and resources that prioritize and maximize student work time.
This webinar is presented by James Goldberg and Julie Wright, the authors of the newly released book, The Limitless Classroom.
