Feedback Survey

“For classrooms to be cultures of thinking for students, schools must be cultures of thinking for teachers.” (Ron Ritchhart) This interactive workshop invites us to reimagine professional learning as engaging, inquiry-driven, and deeply relevant to our daily practice. Together, we will experience collaborative inquiry, self-reflection, and thinking routines as active learners, exploring how these approaches can foster vibrant cultures of thinking among adults. We will leave with practical tools and strategies that can be applied across contexts and designed not only to deepen professional practice, but to spark energy, curiosity, and conversations that continue well beyond the session. Meaningful learning isn’t just for students—it should be dynamic and enjoyable for adults, too!
