Description

Teaching problem solving is hard. It is about helping students learn to make sense, think, and reason. For our students to become problem solvers, we have to engage them, tap into their strengths, and get them talking! In this session, participants learn how to do just that through engaging daily problem-solving routines that focus on thinking, reasoning, and discussion. The session features a host of classroom-ready resources that perfectly complement any standards and any program.
