This Educator Evening is about providing paths for educators to integrate the practice of “noticing” or “close-looking” into their classroom practice. Participants will experience their own inquiry of noticing as they engage in various thinking routines. Drawn from Harvard’s Project Zero Thinking Routines Toolbox, a thinking routine is a set of questions or sequence of steps that can be used to support student thinking and learning.

This event begins at 5pm at the Museum in Ketchum.
