Embrace challenge and celebrate Eureka! Challenge makes learning more interesting. That's one of the reasons to encourage your students to dive into the learning pit-a state of cognitive conflict that forces students to think more deeply, critically, and strategically until they discover their "eureka" moment. Nottingham, an internationally known author and consultant, will show you how to promote challenge, dialogue, and a growth mindset through: *Practical strategies that guide students through the four stages of the Learning Challenge *Engaging lesson plan ideas and classroom activities *Inspiring examples from Learning Challenges across the world
