Have a listen to this episode of RCSD Thinks as we interview Grade 5/6 Teacher Extraordinaire Sophie Bresciani (@mssophielong).  Sophie shares her experience with the Thinking Classroom and how it works well with the Trauma-Informed Classroom.  The episode is a bit long, but packed with so much you'll want to revisit many times. We hope to have Sophie back on at a later date to continue the conversation :-) So worth the listen.
