practices to engage and empower all learners

"Making thinking visible is the idea that learning is about making connections between topics, concepts, and activities rather than steps, assignments, and testing. The power of developing thinking routines is the positive impact they have on student engagement and learning. A thinking routine is the pattern by which we operate and go about the job of learning and working together in a classroom environment. A follow up to a best selling title. In the years since Making Thinking Visible (9780470915516; 204,000 units LTD) has published, the author has been working with colleagues at Project Zero, a research group founded within the Harvard Graduate School of Education, to develop and trial new thinking routines to facility student engagement and learning. The result of that research is a new book that focuses on the power that thinking routines can bring to learning. This is a second book, not a second edition. The theory and research found in Making Thinking Visible is not repeated in this book. This book focuses on new research, new global case studies, and new ideas that even those who read and live by the ideas in the first book will want to get their hands on. Making Thinking Visible is more than a book. With more than 40,000 members of the MTV Facebook community, university and professional learning courses based on the ideas within the book, and strands within the global Project Zero conferences based on it, Making Thinking Visible is more than a book title. The authors want to build on the success of the MTV name by creating a strong link between this book and the original. This new book will fold seamlessly into the promotions and work they are already doing around the MTV concept and book. develop and trial new thinking routines to facility student engagement and learning"--, Provided by publisher
