To ensure all students succeed academically, champion teachers deliver instruction that maximizes Ratio, or the number of students who actively participate and the depth of the thinking they do. Achieving rigor for all students is the central goal of the Common Core standards. Join facilitators Doug Lemov, Erica Woolway, Colleen Driggs, and Hilary Lewis to prepare to deliver high quality training on Ratio. The workshop explores three pathways teachers can follow to increase breadth of participation and depth of thinking: Writing, Discussion, and Questioning. Participants will leave equipped to train teachers on how to achieve the twin goals of all students participating fully and all students thinking deeply.
