Thinking Routines in Your Classroom

Tuesday July 28, 2026 1:15pm - 2:45pm CDT

Discovery Building: Room 1145

A thinking routine is a set of questions or a brief sequence of steps used to scaffold and support student thinking. Researchers have developed a variety of thinking routines that are applicable across disciplines, topics, and age groups, and can be used at multiple points throughout a learning experience or unit of study. This workshop will briefly introduce the concept of thinking routines, engage participants in the use of one particular routine: Parts, Purposes and Complexities, along with a hands-on activity, and design ways to adapt a thinking routine for participants' classrooms.

In this session, you will:

Identify key ideas defining thinking routines.

Apply the Parts, Purposes and Complexities thinking routines.

Design potential ways to adapt the thinking routine to implement in your own classroom.
