Additional Information
“Many teachers today ask the questions, ‘What does teaching thinking skills really mean, and how do I do teach them?’ How to Teach Thinking Skills, Second Edition not only answers both questions for educators of any content and grade level in a way that is clear, digestible, and practical, but also teaches how to infuse technology to support and enhance the development of thinking skills. As director of curriculum for a K–12 public school district, I have seen firsthand how the teachings of Bellanca, Fogarty, and Pete lead to major improvements in curriculum and instruction, and increases in student achievement. How to Teach Thinking Skills is essential and instrumental to any teacher hoping to teach more than content. This book is seminal to the development of 21st century learners as independent and adaptive thinkers in a rapidly changing, ever-evolving digital world.”
