Some of my key takeaways from this book:
- “Understanding is not a precursor to application, analysis, evaluating, and creating but a result of it.” (p. 7)
- “In most settings, educators have focused more on the completion of work and assignments than on true development of understanding.” (p. 9)
- A Magical Teacher Question: “What makes you think that?”
- Cultures of Thinking are places where a group’s collective as well as individual thinking is valued, visible, and actively promoted as part of the regular, day-to-day experience of all group members.” (p. 219)
- Observing closely and describing what’s there
- Building explanations and interpretations
- Reasoning with evidence
- Making connections
- Considering different viewpoints and perspectives
- Capturing the heart and forming conclusions
- Wondering and asking questions
- Uncovering complexity and going below the surface of things (p. 11-13)
