Secure TransactionBook Description
This resource is for any busy teacher looking to enrich their lesson planning and support the development of critical thinking, problem solving, and metacognition skills. Designed for use in grades 5-10, each of these 21 tools are paired with a real-world issue or ethical dilemma to guide students through complex social, emotional, and intellectual topics, and can even be used within your existing lessons.
Every chapter introduces a different visual thinking tool and a step-by-step approach for a range of topics from challenging bias and promoting self-awareness to reflecting on social interactions. Stories from the classroom and world, a range of ethical issues as well as student and educator examples illustrate how the tools can be used.
Ideal for in-service teachers in grades 5-10 across content areas regardless of curriculums, these tools will inspire your students to be open-minded and actively engage in classroom discussions, while developing new and different perspectives about themselves, your lessons, and the world around them.
