Creating Thinking Classrooms
Creating Thinking Classrooms :
Leading Educational Change for This Century
Garfield Gini-Newman, Roland Case
Reinvigorating today’s schools with quality thinking
Critical, creative and collaborative thinking should be at the center of all 21st century teaching and learning. Creating Thinking Classrooms is loaded with examples, stories and strategies for reinvigorating schools through quality thinking and reasoning. Written for leaders who support teachers, this guide treats educational change as a process of renovation, rather than revolution, and emphasizes building upon, refining and sustaining the many good things happening in today’s schools. Practical and user-friendly, it emphasizes five key principles for learning and teaching:
* Engaging students
* Sustaining inquiry
* Nurturing self-regulated learners
* Creating assessment-rich learning
* Enhancing learning through digital technology
Industry Reviews
I loved the book and highly recommend it. This book can help school leaders, teachers, and professional developers understand and appreciate what it means and what it takes to promote a thinking classroom. It is substantive, practical, well grounded in theory and practice. A must read.
-- Giselle O. Martin-Kniep, President, Learner-Centered Initiatives
My work with Garfield Gini-Newman and Roland Case spans almost two decades. As a principal and community superintendent, I observed firsthand how transformational their work is in the classroom, in the school community, and on a systemic level. Creating Thinking Classrooms takes theory and research and places it directly into the hands of practitioners by offering thoughtful and immediately-useful strategies. Not only does this work transform student engagement and achievement, but it also transforms thinking for both teachers and their students. Teaching and learning go from passive acquisition of information to active, purposeful, and deliberate interaction with the curriculum. It is a must-read!
-- Ursula A. Hermann, Ph.D, retired principal and community superintendent
