GW - Implementation Science for Educational Initiative with Ongoing Coaching (Introduction to Building Thinking Classrooms Workshop Grades 3rd-HS)
Sixth Street Facility GWAEA Apr 2, 2026




Professional learning around implementation science in the educational setting is an ongoing, dynamic process that focuses on building the necessary knowledge, skills, and capacities for successful and sustainable implementation of educational initiatives. Grounded in the NIRN (National Implementation Research Network) implementation science model, this professional learning begins with building the leadership teams’ capacity to understand and apply key concepts such as implementation drivers, fidelity of implementation, and sustainability. Leaders and educators engage in targeted professional development to deepen their understanding of the core components of effective implementation, including the role of staff competencies, organizational supports, and data systems for monitoring progress.

  • In this full day of learning, teachers will learn practices that transform how students engage in the math classroom. (Based on the Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics book by Peter Liljedahl.)
  • Teachers will experience, and plan for, thinking classroom practices to be implemented immediately in the classroom.
