Teaching Students How to Think Creatively, Collaboratively, & Critically Solve Problems

CLASSROOTS combines an inquiry-based teaching style with critical thinking to maximize classroom engagement and better equip students for success. Lessons come from hands-on projects, interactive discussions, problem-based activities, research projects, literature circles, Socratic seminars, and student-generated questions, in an effort to engage all kinds of learners.

Here are examples of past CLASSROOTS workshops:

• Expository and creative writing
• Vocabulary building
• Grammar in context
• Debates in the classroom
• Art-infused lessons (Tableaus, visual vocabulary, creative thinking)
• Struggling readers
• Learning through movement
• How to make history come alive
• Collaborative work for equitable learning
• Internal and external scaffolding to deepen comprehension
• Literature circles
