Building Thinking Classrooms is a complex constellation of practices and micro-moves that radically transforms the math classrooms as well as students’ and teachers’ experience of mathematics. It is important and sometimes challenging work. In this session I present some of the results of over 15 years on how leaders can help support teachers in their journey to change their classrooms from spaces where students mimic to spaces where they think. Leaders will leave with a number of strategies for inspiring and facilitating change, removing barriers to change, and working collaboratively to create and sustain change.  The practices discussed will intertwine with, and make extensive references to, the best-selling books, Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics (Grades K-12): 14 Teaching Practices for Enhancing Learning and Tasks for the Thinking Classroom (K-5 and 6-12).
