Do your students struggle to take notes? Are you looking for new ways to help students process their learning? In this session we will explore how to support students in sense-making, cognitive engagement, and meaningful note-making that goes beyond “fill-in-the-blank” or “copy what I write” notes. Participate in the process of collaborative note-making, inspired by the research and ideas presented by Peter Liljedahl in his book Mathematics Tasks for the Thinking Classroom, and walk away with strategies to engage students in the note-making process and solidify their transfer of learning from short-term to long-term memory. This session will explore how the process can be used in all content areas including Math, Science, Social Studies, and Language Arts.
