Building Thinking Classrooms in SOL Review
Virtual (Zoom)
April 13, 2026 @ 6:30-8:00 pm
This 90-minute webinar explores how Building Thinking Classroom (BTC) strategies can be intentionally integrated into SOL testing review to elevate student thinking and deepen engagement. Participants will examine planning templates and examples that show how review tasks can remain collaborative, problem‑based, and student centered while still targeting priority standards.
Every participant also receives a 1‑hour coaching session with the experts to plan their own SOL review lessons, troubleshoot challenges, and get personalized guidance on applying BTC strategies with their students.
Educators will leave with a clear, actionable plan for designing thinking‑rich SOL review experiences. A recording will be available after the session.
