Over the 2023-24 school year, thirty-four educators (teachers, coaches, coordinators, and principals) from across Del Mar Union School District came together to engage in teacher-led inquiry into building a culture of thinking in their classrooms and across their schools. Over the course of the school year, CoT Fellows dove deeply into the pedagogical frameworks and instructional strategies of Cultures of Thinking and Visible Thinking. These tools and strategies were developed by Harvard researcher Ron Ritchhart who led the CoT Fellows group. Throughout the year, CoT Fellows experimented in their classrooms and reflected within the learning cohort to deepen their understanding. It is now time for us to step back and make our learning, our struggles, our questions, and our insights visible to our colleagues, friends, and supporters through conversation and connection.
Sharing will be done in small group conversations in both a morning session and afternoon session. Details and registration information to follow.
