Synopsis

A proven program for enhancing students' thinking and comprehension abilities

Visible thinking is a research-based approach to teaching thinking, begun at Harvard's Project Zero, that develops students' thinking dispositions while at the same time deepening their understanding of the topics they study.

Rather than a set of fixed lessons, visible thinking is a varied collection of practices, including thinking routines, small sets of questions, or a short sequence of steps as well as the documentation of student thinking.

Using this process, thinking becomes visible as the students' different viewpoints are expressed, documented, discussed, and reflected upon.

Helps direct student thinking and structure classroom discussion
Can be applied with students at all grade levels and in all content areas
Includes easy-to-implement classroom strategies

Making Thinking Visible is skillfully narrated by Douglas James. The audiobook is accompanied by a supplementary PDF, which includes links to video clips featuring visible thinking in practice in different classrooms.

Goodreads review by Monica

This book had some great strategies for getting kids to think. The most valuable part to me was seeing how others used them in their classrooms. I would have loved to see more examples and diagrams/pictures but overall very useful. I look forward to using this in my classroom.......more
