Description:
Step into a dynamic, collaborative space designed for teachers who want to think boldly about the future of learning. This three-part Think Tank series brings educators together to explore research-informed practices, spark new ideas, and co-design strategies that strengthen classroom teaching and student engagement. Each session builds on the last, creating an ongoing conversation where theory meets practice and innovation takes shape. Together, we’ll ideate, experiment, and grow — turning fresh thinking into meaningful action for our students and schools. Bring your curiosity, your creativity, and your questions — and leave with new perspectives and practical tools ready for your classroom.

Session 1 – January 14th, 2026: Sparking Ideas, Building Community
Kick off the Think Tank by exploring what it means to lead learning in today’s classrooms. Together, we’ll examine key research on effective teaching and learning, share stories from our own practices, and discuss the opportunities and challenges we face. This session is all about building a shared foundation — connecting as a community of educators, sparking curiosity, and beginning to co-design possibilities for deeper student engagement.

Session 2 – March 25th, 2026: From Ideas to Action
With our shared foundation in place, we’ll move from generating ideas to shaping them into practical classroom strategies. Using real examples and collaborative design approaches, we’ll test and refine approaches that align with research and meet the needs of our learners. This session invites you to bring emerging ideas, pilot projects, or questions from your classroom so we can ideate together and push thinking further.
