Thinking Strategies

Thinking Strategies: 45 Thinking Strategies to engage, enrich and empower the learning process.

These 45 creative and critical thinking strategies include teambuilding, problem-solving, risk-taking, RAFT, and so much more.

I have traveled to numerous districts, regional service centers, and state conventions training a multitude of teachers on how to apply these unique strategies to any content area or grade level. This introductory booklet will offer an explanation of the strategy, various examples of how they are used and/or necessary tips for success.

Choose to practice a few each week and add to your repertoire of ideas. Continue to build the skill of questioning - offering a wide variety of activities in order to enhance the "art of teaching". Each of the 45 strategies are placed on a half size area of letter size paper. Pages can be printed front to back and folded or cut to make a 5 1/2 by 8 1/2 inch booklet.
