Preservice and in-service teacher thinking risks being outsourced to ‘reasoning’ models of AI (e.g. Open AI 3.0 mini and Deep Seek). Simultaneously, the same risk is true for the thinking of the school students they teach. This webinar provides ways to manage this risk through conceptualization and practice about facilitating rich research thinking, using examples from the open-access Springer book ‘Research Thinking for Responsive Teaching’.
