"When you see the thinking, you know the learning." -Ron Ritchhart
A Culture of Thinking is a learning environment where thinking is
valued, visible and actively promoted. Thinking Routines are instructional strategy scaffolds that empower teachers to move student learning from just knowing the correct answers to thinking about, looking closely at, understanding and questioning what is being presented.
In our classroom we will learn and use routines that encourage students to delve more deeply into their learning and make their thinking visible.
Soon a classroom culture begins to take shape and a community of inquiry and thoughtful learning begins to grow. Students learn to listen to each other and share their thinking. In our classroom we call this "Catching the Sparks!"
