For those of you who are interested in seeing what a BTC lesson looks like, the Dutch BTC website has just posted some amazing classroom videos of Maarten Müller doing a convergent and a divergent lesson. They are in Dutch but the visuals are amazing. buildingthinkingclassrooms.nl/beeld-en-geluid/

Thank you @mrshackett305.bsky.social for inspiring this @btcthinks.bsky.social lesson for #ENG2D.

I think exploring others' essay openings for how they engage readers helped inspire Ss' creative & personal writing.

Ignoring difficulty level (basic, int, adv), here’s what grading a complex assessment Q can look like when we place more importance on OUTCOMES vs. a single event grade. Outcomes tell what Ss know & still need to master. youtube.com/shorts/g2E-e... @pgliljedahl.bsky.social @btcthinks.bsky.social

I am very excited about this partnership. I want students to think. Innovamat is a curriculum built from the ground up with the same goal in mind. With Innovamat, building a thinking classroom is easy.
