This practical, hands-on session explores simple but powerful routines that make student thinking active, visible, and accountable. Drawing on strategies from Building Thinking Classrooms and TQE (Thoughts, Questions, Epiphanies), participants will experience structures such as standing groups, onemarker protocols, targeted prompts, and short discussion cycles that shift students from passive completion to genuine cognitive engagement. Through modeling, guided practice, and reflection, teachers will see how whiteboards and structured questioning can quickly elevate the quality of student talk, promote productive struggle, and provide immediate formative insights.
