Join Jeff Harker and special guest Dr. Peter Liljedahl, author of Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics, as we head into our first Building Thinking Classrooms Conference, June 29-30, 2023, hosted by our partners at Franklin Community Schools.  They’ll be discussing Toolkit #4 and wrapping up our 4 part series.  Hear about the impact a thinking classroom can have on your students, their engagement, and their achievement. Dr. Peter Liljedahl is the author of Building Thinking Classrooms, a Professor of Mathematics Education in the Faculty of Education, and an associate member in the Department of Mathematics at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada. Dr. Liljedahl is a former high school mathematics teacher who has kept his research interest and activities close to the classroom. His research interests are creativity, insight, and discovery in mathematics teaching and learning; the role of the affective domain on the teaching and learning of mathematics; the professional growth of mathematics teachers; mathematical problem solving; numeracy; and engaging student thinking. He consults regularly with schools, school districts, and ministries of education on issues of teaching and learning, assessment, and numeracy.
