Learning to think. . thinking to learn. The pathway to achievement
Description
Getting to the root cause of poor achievement eventually means addressing how your students acquire information, critically evaluate it, and handle it in abstract problems -in short, how they think. If you've ever wondered whether it was possible to explicitly teach students to think more effectively and whether schools could actually do so, here is a professional development video program that shows you and your colleagues how to use research-based strategies to teach students the thinking skills they need to succeed on school assignments, standardized tests, and beyond.Using the DVD and User Guide -with activities designed for large-group workshops, small study groups, and individual study -you can introduce your school to step-by-step ways to teach three major types of thinking skills: information processing skills, critical thinking skills, and complex thinking strategies. Lessons from classrooms in elementary, middle, and high schools show what teachers do in the major phases of teaching a thinking skill or strategy.
