In this K-2 Think Tank, educators will explore how to develop partner talk through a series of routines that foster collaboration, deep listening, and clear communication. Participants will also examine how specific lesson structures—including a Just-Right Games Routine and station teaching—can develop the habits of mind that underlie effective learning behaviors.
