The 2024 Building Thinking Classrooms Conference will empower educators in implementing Dr. Peter Liljedahl’s 14 practices in new, engaging ways and across different content areas. Such practices include defronting the classroom, developing non-routine tasks, increasing metacognition in the notetaking process, changing the way we think about homework, and much more.
