***Give students the essential thinking skills they need to thrive. ***
Exclusively content-focused teaching may improve test scores, but it leaves students without the cognitive skills for success in an information-overloaded world where deep thinking, collaborative problem solving, and emotional intelligence is essential.
In this book, David Hyerle presents case studies of schools and educators who have applied these powerful models, in some case system-wide, to remedy this situation, including:
- Visual learning tools including Hyerle’s renowned Thinking Maps
- A language for students to improve their intellectual-emotional behaviors as they learn
- A system for developing students’ abilities to ask questions in the context of a developing Community of Inquiry
