What Teachers Need from Admin and Coaches to Build Thinking Classrooms

In Part 2 of this session, Peter Liljedahl shares findings from his research on how administrators and instructional coaches can support teachers in implementing Building Thinking Classrooms. A key insight from this work is that what leaders believe will support teachers doesn’t always align with what teachers actually experience as helpful. Peter unpacks why this gap exists and outlines specific types of support that make a difference. He also explores why it’s important to vary support based on where teachers are in their professional growth, and how this can influence the success of any initiative.
