The International School of Amsterdam will be hosting the next Cultures of Thinking seminar on October 14, 15 & 16, 2010.

The seminar is appropriate for teachers, administrators and school leaders across grade levels and subject areas. During the seminar, we will focus primarily on creating a culture of thinking, fostering thinking opportunities, and looking for evidence of student thinking. Participants will be introduced to thinking routines - what they are and how they can be used to create more thoughtful classrooms.

During the seminar, we will explore such questions as:

- What is a culture of thinking?

- How can the cultural forces that exist in each classroom support and further develop a culture of thinking?

- How can educators provide rich and meaningful opportunities for thinking and learning?

- What can we learn about student thinking at different ages and stages?
