Description
Thinking-Based Learning: A Guide to Promoting Quality Student Achievement in the 21st Century This book provides accessible educational practices that teachers can use to infuse skillful thinking into standards-based content instruction. With rich examples from practice, readers will learn how to teach students to think critically and communicate their ideas effectively. The authors demonstrate how taking time to frontload deliberate, selective thinking practices can propel students to higher levels of achievement. The book explores the role of metacognition in the classroom, translating good thinking into good writing, and assessing progress in thinking. By following this resource, teachers can help their students develop habits of effective thinking and dispositions for learning that will ultimately improve their work in other courses and grades.
