CULTURES of THINKING
Professional Learning and Leadership Opportunities 2017-18
2011-2017 The first 6 years of learning and leadership...
As we begin this new school year, many, many educators across Oakland County are striving to grow their conversations about creating classrooms and schools that value, make visible, and actively promote thinking. For some, this is a conversation that began six years ago and the school leaders are looking to deepen students’, teachers’, and community members’ understanding of the cultural forces that shape learning in groups. For others, this is a conversation that began just last school year and school leaders are looking to grow the conversation beyond those who participated in foundational seminars and school tours. And, for still others, school leaders are ready and eager to get the conversation started!
Explore the links below to learn detailed information about all the 2017-18 professional learning and leadership opportunities offered by the CoT – Oakland! Collaborative. Read the descriptions carefully to determine which opportunity might best support your school’s journey to becoming a culture of thinking!
Thank you for all you do to create intellectual lives for our children to grow into!
