Join renowned researchers and authors Ron Ritchhart and Mark Church as well as school leaders and participants from around the U.S. and world for the first-ever Leading a Cultures of Thinking Summit. 

Over the course of the two-day Summit, you will learn about Cultures of Thinking (CoT) research and practices during plenary session talks; breakout sessions; panel discussions; and round-table conversations. You will see documentation of these practices from a variety of schools, experience pedagogical tools in action, and explore the qualities of leadership necessary for sustaining this work in your own setting.

If you are able to participate in Monday’s optional session, you will have the opportunity to learn with Ron Ritchhart and Mark Church in a more intimate setting. You will visit dynamic classrooms in a school that has committed to creating a Culture of Thinking and you will hear from teachers and administrators about their journey. 

On all three days, complimentary continental breakfast and lunch will be on offer. Participants will be responsible for arranging their own transportation to and from the Summit.
