Session description

Elevating student thinking, creativity, and questioning to the highest levels of Blooms is good for all students. Come ponder, problem-solve, and engage in rigorous and relevant higher-order thinking as you explore a variety of critical creative thinking activities and the resources you can use the next day.

Outline

6-8 Interactive Tables will host an opportunity for attendees to interact with presenters and the activities, strategies, resources they share.
Activities will cover a variety of content areas to include ELA, Math, Science, SocSt and the Arts. Each table will provide a quick and easy integration activity as well as long range ideas and resources needed. Experience will include problem based, maker space and computational thinking integrations along with creative applications and more.

A QR Code Gallery Walk of Higher Order Thinking activities and final student products will be available as well.

Presentation Stages will be used to showcase the "how to", the questioning strategies, and more in depth activities. These may include Costas 3 Story Questioning Model, In depth guides on how to infuse higher order thinking into the culture of the learning environment, and specific content area integrations that elevate thinking.

The full agenda will be posted once topics and presenters are confirmed.
