Discover why and how schools must become places where thinking is
valued, visible, and actively promoted As educators, parents, and
citizens, we must settle for nothing less than environments that
bring out the best in people, take learning to the next level,
allow for great discoveries, and propel both the individual and the
group forward into a lifetime of learning. This is something all
teachers want and all students deserve. In Creating Cultures of
Thinking: The 8 Forces We Must Master to Truly Transform Our
Schools, Ron Ritchhart, author of Making Thinking Visible, explains
how creating a culture of thinking is more important to learning
than any particular curriculum and he outlines how any school or
teacher can accomplish this by leveraging 8 cultural forces:
expectations, language, time, modeling, opportunities, routines,
interactions, and environment. With the techniques and rich
classroom vignettes throughout this book, Ritchhart shows that
creating a culture of thinking is not about just adhering to a
particular set of practices or a general expectation that people
should be involved in thinking. A culture of thinking produces the
feelings, energy, and even joy that can propel learning forward and
motivate us to do what at times can be hard and challenging mental
work.
