How Making Thinking Visible Shaped My Approach to Teaching<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The main points from The Power of Making Thinking Visible<\/em> that have really shaped my thinking as an educator are fostering deep learning, keeping students engaged, and helping them develop their thinking skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve learned that using questioning as a key tool can help students process what they\u2019re learning and spark curiosity, which leads to a deeper understanding. Instead of just memorizing facts, this approach gets them actively involved in their own learning. I also love the idea of developing thinking habits through routines. Over time, students start to see how valuable this is for their learning, and it becomes part of who they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These concepts have really influenced how I\u2019d want to create a classroom environment where students feel empowered to think critically and explore ideas, with both the teacher and students sharing the learning process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I LOVE how this blog below stresses the point that unless you are willing to be truly interested in the way our students are thinking the MTV strategy won’t actually work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
