Making Thinking Visible by Karin Morrison, Mark Church and Ron Ritchhart

From Chapter’s Website

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 (the book also comes with a DVD of video clips featuring Visible Thinking in practice in different classrooms)
