In a world where knowledge is more a verb than a noun how do we foster deep learning in our students? Good questions cause thinking. Unfortunately, many of the questions regularly asked in classrooms focus on knowledge as a noun. This presentation will explore the effective use of thinking and learning tools in the classroom. We will work together to model teaching practices that lead to students co-constructing a networked (real world) rather than hierarchical (artificial) understanding of their world regardless of grade level or discipline.
Participants leave this workshop with a toolkit of research based questioning and thinking strategies they can begin using with their students tomorrow.

Students come to the classroom with conceptions of numbers grounded in
their whole-number learning that lead them astray in the world of rational

The 3 Questions
64. Routines exist in all classrooms; they are the patterns by
which we operate and go about the job of learning and
working together in a classroom environment. A routine can
be thought of as any procedure, process, or pattern of action
that is used repeatedly to manage and facilitate the
accomplishment of specific goals or tasks. Classrooms have
routines that serve to manage student behaviour and
interactions, to organizing the work of learning, and to
establish rules for communication and discourse.
Classrooms also have routines that structure the way
students go about the process of learning. These learning
routines can be simple structures, such as reading from a
text and answering the questions at the end of the chapter,
or they may be designed to promote students' thinking, such
as asking students what they know, what they want to know,
and what they have learned as part of a unit of study.
