A proven program for enhancing students' thinking and comprehension abilities Visible Thinking is a research-based approach to teaching thinking, begun at Harvard's Project Zero, that develops students' thinking dispositions, while at the same time deepening their understanding of the topics they study. Rather than a set of fixed lessons, Visible Thinking is a varied collection of practices, including thinking routines?small sets of questions or a short sequence of steps?as well as the documentation of student thinking. Using this process thinking becomes visible as the students' different viewpoints are expressed, documented, discussed and reflected upon. Helps direct student thinking and structure classroom discussion Can be applied with students at all grade levels and in all content areas Includes easy-to-implement classroom strategies The book also directs readers to online videos that demonstrate how Visible Thinking works in real classrooms. Review: An invaluable follow-up to Intellectual Character - 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 Review: If you're a teacher you'll never regret this purchase - 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.

incredibly boring!
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!

lots of ideas
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.

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

Making students think - excellent ideas for teachers
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.

A must read for any educator
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.
