Summary:

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.
