Welcome to BCPS Thinking Focus Cadre. The purpose of this account is to share resources and create educational dialogue on the topic.
This will be the location to respond to blogs and find resources related to our cadre. You will be able to respond to anything that I blog once I have reviewed it. If you have any resources that you would like to share with the cadre, please send those to me. I will review and then add to our resouces.
The Thinking Focus Cadre will develop the four pillars of the lab host classroom which includes community, thinking strategies, workshop model, and gradual release of responsibility (GRR). The mission is to create students who can analyze, evaluate, critique, and question text. It is the opportunity to create students who can think for themselves. As educators it is our plan to not do or say anthing that a student can do or say for him/herself in the process of learning.
In partnership with Public Education & Business Coalition (PEBC), the Thinking Focus Cadre will conference, observe, and train using the PEBC philosophy of literacy. We will guide students in understanding that literacy gives them power over their lives. We believe that students are only truly free when they are fully literate.
