Collaborations:
How I Work with Schools and Organizations
School & District Partnerships
The major way I collaborate with schools and districts is through ongoing, multi-year partnerships. These partnership can take a variety of forms, such as:
Teacher cohorts groups each year to embed the ideas of cultures of thinking.
Leadership teams focused on develop skills around facilitation and coaching as it relates to a culture of thinking.
Action Inquiry cycles in which we do a deep dive into the 8 cultural forces.
Learning Labs in which teachers come together to co-plan, teach, and reflect on lessons using thinking routines
Seminars & Workshops
I conduct one, two, three, and four day workshops in schools on either Cultures of Thinking or Making Thinking Visible. Sometimes these workshops are conducted in one single visit, and sometimes they are spread out over a school year. Occasionally schools will host a workshop that they open to outside participants.
Keynote Talks & Conference Presentations
I regularly give keynote talks and conduct master classes at conferences around the world.
If you would like to work together, plan a speaking engagement, arrange a workshop, or for any other inquiries, use the form to the right to message Ron directly.
