Making Thinking Visible: How to Promote Engagement, Understanding, and Independence for All Learners (Jossey-Bass Teacher)

All teachers need to read this - and all educators. This concept is an essential addition to the material those of us who wish to transform education can use to create a new education system globally. Focusing on the thinking part of developing learners, a lot of the advice and examples given also apply to developing the learner in general - in fact the book could be called 'Making Learning Visible' (I did suggest this once at a talk by the author). It is an inspiration and has wonderful examples and case studies for the working teacher. Robert Thorn Director Developing Real Learners

A book packed full of practical thinking routines to use in the classroom. The thing to do is just start using them. Don't worry if you haven't finished reading the whole book yet; just try them out. Keep the book in the classroom as you may need to refer to it until you've got used to using the routines. It'll make your teaching better, make lessons easier to plan and it'll get you even further away from lazy textbook/worksheet lessons.

Thinking skills and lesson ideas. Full of loads of really interesting concepts and ideas for the classroom. Great for teachers.

Packed full of practical ideas and case studies to help teachers think through their own philosophy and practice of T&L in the classroom

Excellent. Just what I/we needed to know about developing schools into something new and innovative.

Boring, boring and pointless! As a SEN tutor I have a million of these books and this one is particularly dull and the kind of teachers presenting in the DVD are exactly why some pupils have difficulty learning!

Super book if you want ideas that are explained and then exemplified with classroom examples. Needs work to turn ideas into useful additions to your classroom.

It doesn't do what the title says at all!

This book is full of excellent advice for teachers teaching on all different levels. I bought this book years ago and keep reading it again and again. I always find a new idea to stimulate my students to think deeper and deeper. "See - think - wonder" has become a standard routine in my lessons. Thank you.

Simply Wow

It a very interesting book, useful to understand thinking routines and how to bring them to your classroom.

Visible thinking is a buzzword in education circles. Having trialled and refined what works well for my students and for me, I strongly believe this is a must read to help your students develop the art of thinking.

Un must-have para profesores y maestros. Thinking based learning is the future without any doubt. Fácil de leer, con dinámicas muy claras y de fácil aplicación en el aula con estudiantes de cualquier edad. Totalmente recomendable
