Learning is the outcome of thinking, and as

such gaining insights into the ways students

think is crucial for teachers, allowing them to

alter students’ thinking dispositions. But how

do we know what kind of thinking is taking

place and how can we be sure that all our

students are developing these thinking skills?

What insights do we have into how our

students are thinking and learning? In this

seminar-workshop, we shall explore the idea

of introducing visible thinking routines as a

way of helping to achieve this without having to

include a separate ‘thinking skills’ course or

specific lessons.
