In The Anxious Generation, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt lays out the facts about the epidemic of teen mental illness that hit many countries at the same time. He then investigates the nature of childhood, including why children need play and independent exploration to mature into competent, thriving adults. Haidt shows how the *play-based childhood" began to decline in the 1980s, and how it was finally wiped out by the arrival of the "phone-based childhood" in the early 2010s. He presents more than a dozen mechanisms by which this "great rewiring of childhood" has interfered with children's social and neurological development, covering everything from sleep deprivation to attention fragmentation, addiction, loneliness, social contagion, social comparison, and perfectionism. He explains why social media damages girls more than boys and why boys have been withdrawing from the real world into the virtual world, with disastrous consequences for themselves, their families, and their societies.

12. Building Thinking Classrooms Book Study 2025-26

Program: Inservice Courses

Audience: Educators

Dates: 7/1/2025

THIS COURSE IS ONLY AVAILABLE TO PECONIC TEACHER CENTER CONSORTIUM MEMBERS!Building Thinking Classrooms is an educational approach developed by Dr. Peter Liljedahl, professor of mathematics education at Simon Fraser University in Canada. Sparked by observing dozens and dozens of teachers struggle to engage students in deep thinking and problem solving, and observing hundreds of students engaged in a lot of behavior that didn't include thinking-or learning-Peter set out to find the answer to a simple question: How can we get more students to think and to think longer? Over the next 15 years, he set a research course to break every institutional norm possible to see what shifts could get students thinking. Out of this research grew 14 specific norm-busting teaching practices that have proven to enhance thinking-and thus learning in hundreds of thousands of classrooms around the world. And it doesn't stop there. Not only do the 14 practices enhance thinking, they enhance other competencies in students such as collaboration, perseverance, risk-taking. Further, they enhance access and equity to learning and student autonomy and ownership of learning. First published in 2020 as the book Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics, the BTC model has become a global phenomenon. Educators around the world-from the United States and Canada to Norway to Japan-are finding that when implementing these 14 practices-even if incrementally over time-their students have become more engaged and more excited to learn mathematics.

In The Anxious Generation, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt lays out the facts about the epidemic of teen mental illness that hit many countries at the same time. He then investigates the nature of childhood, including why children need play and independent exploration to mature into competent, thriving adults. Haidt shows how the *play-based childhood" began to decline in the 1980s, and how it was finally wiped out by the arrival of the "phone-based childhood" in the early 2010s. He presents more than a dozen mechanisms by which this "great rewiring of childhood" has interfered with children's social and neurological development, covering everything from sleep deprivation to attention fragmentation, addiction, loneliness, social contagion, social comparison, and perfectionism. He explains why social media damages girls more than boys and why boys have been withdrawing from the real world into the virtual world, with disastrous consequences for themselves, their families, and their societies.

44. Building Thinking Classrooms Book Study 2026-27

Program: Inservice Courses

Audience: Educators

Dates: 7/1/2026

THIS COURSE IS ONLY AVAILABLE TO PECONIC TEACHER CENTER CONSORTIUM MEMBERS!Building Thinking Classrooms is an educational approach developed by Dr. Peter Liljedahl, professor of mathematics education at Simon Fraser University in Canada. Sparked by observing dozens and dozens of teachers struggle to engage students in deep thinking and problem solving, and observing hundreds of students engaged in a lot of behavior that didn't include thinking-or learning-Peter set out to find the answer to a simple question: How can we get more students to think and to think longer? Over the next 15 years, he set a research course to break every institutional norm possible to see what shifts could get students thinking. Out of this research grew 14 specific norm-busting teaching practices that have proven to enhance thinking-and thus learning in hundreds of thousands of classrooms around the world. And it doesn't stop there. Not only do the 14 practices enhance thinking, they enhance other competencies in students such as collaboration, perseverance, risk-taking. Further, they enhance access and equity to learning and student autonomy and ownership of learning. First published in 2020 as the book Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics, the BTC model has become a global phenomenon. Educators around the world-from the United States and Canada to Norway to Japan-are finding that when implementing these 14 practices-even if incrementally over time-their students have become more engaged and more excited to learn mathematics.
