Thinking strategy instruction gives learners the power to fend off confusion and persevere. It takes them from helpless hand-raisers to agentic meaning-makers! \nThe “Thinking Strategies” are rooted in the proficient reader research and are proven to be effective when explicitly taught. Thinking strategy instruction involves each strand of the PEBC Teaching Framework; planning for lifeworthy learning\, cultivating thinking oriented classrooms\, crafting student centered workshops\, engaging students in meaningful discourse\, and assessing along the way to adjust instruction to meet students’ needs. In this institute\, educators will experience how the thinking strategies support understanding across grade levels and content areas with an emphasis on how to explicitly teach\, support\, and plan for student agency and understanding. Participants will visit PEBC Lab Classrooms where teachers and students utilize thinking strategies on a regular basis and where the PEBC Teaching Framework from Phenomenal Teaching by Wendy Ward Hoffer comes to life.
