Creating a Culture of Thinking at Bemis Elementary
Visible Thinking is a broad and
flexible framework for enriching classroom learning in the content
areas and fostering students' intellectual development at the same
time. Here are some of its key goals:
- Deeper understanding of content
- Greater motivation for learning
- Development of learners' thinking and learning abilities.
- Development of learners' attitudes toward thinking and learning and their alertness to opportunities for thinking and learning (the "dispositional" side of thinking).
- A shift in classroom culture toward a community of enthusiastically engaged thinkers and learners.
