The Main Idea 2013. All rights reserved. By Jenn David-Lang (A Summary of the Summary ) The main ideas of the book are: ~ Currently, many teachers focus more on having their students complete tasks and assignments than on developing their Thinking and understanding. ~ To promote Thinking in their classrooms, teachers must: (1) create opportunities for students to think and (2) make students Thinking Visible . This book introduces Thinking routines that accomplish both of these goals. Why I chose this book: Currently, too many students work for grades, not for learning and Thinking . I see this in the schools I visit and in my daughters work habits.
The 21 “thinking routines” outlined in the book show teachers how to regularly engage students in a series of steps that improve thinking. If you are a school leader, do NOT assume this book isn’t for you because it introduces teaching strategies.
