Just a Phase You're Going Through.
Monday June 30, 2025 9:45am - 10:45am PDT
In this out-of-this-world, engaging, and interactive session we will explore the phases of the moon through the lens of a thinking classroom! This workshop is designed to foster curiosity, collaboration, and critical thinking as we investigate the moon’s motion and presentations. This workshop is perfect for educators across grade levels who are interested in making science more engaging, interactive, and thought-provoking rather than simply a body of knowledge. Whether you teach elementary, middle, or high school, you’ll walk away with fresh ideas and renewed excitement for teaching science. Don’t miss this chance to launch your teaching practices to new heights — you’ll be over the moon with ideas!

Teaching Data Science with the BTC Toolkits
Monday June 30, 2025 11:00am - 12:00pm PDT
In today’s data-rich landscape, the ability to interpret and apply data is essential for students. This interactive session will explore data science standard connections while using the BTC practices. Participants will engage with real-world examples of how students can work with data and discuss strategies for supporting teachers in making data-informed decisions that lead to better outcomes for all learners. Learning outcomes include:

  1. Understand how to integrate data science principles within the Building Thinking Classroom (BTC) framework.
  2. Reflect on instructional strategies that support deeper student inquiry into data.
  3. Develop interest in ongoing collaboration and professional learning around data science in BTC classrooms.
Cultivating students’ capacity to analyze, interpret, and communicate data insights is critical to developing mathematically literate citizens. This session examines the integration of data science concepts within the Building Thinking Classroom (BTC) framework, emphasizing pedagogical strategies that promote deep student engagement with data. Through interactive tasks using real-world visualizations, participants will explore a tiered “mild, medium, spicy” structure designed to scaffold cognitive demand and stimulate rich mathematical discourse. The session will also examine how these practices can empower educators to make data-informed instructional decisions and promote equity. Opportunities for ongoing professional learning and collaboration in data science and BTC will be shared.

Supporting a District Wide shift to BTC
Monday June 30, 2025 1:00pm - 2:00pm PDT
How do you build capacity for a district wide shift towards a thinking classroom? Hear from two mathematics department leaders who successfully embarked on this journey in a diverse central high school district. Hear about the glows and grows of the process, and walk away with not only an aspiration for a thinking classrooms philosophy in your building/district, but more importantly the inspiration and plan for how to make it happen.
