Product description
From the Back Cover
ROUTINES FOR EMPOWERING AND ENGAGING STUDENTS TO LEARN HOW TO THINK--
FROM THE COAUTHORS OF MAKING THINKING VISIBLE
From the coauthors of the bestselling Making Thinking Visible, comes the much-anticipated companion title The Power of Making Thinking Visible. Drawing on the authors' research of more than 100,000 students around the world, the book presents 18 new thinking routines to help students improve their learning.
The Power of Making Thinking Visible explains how thinking routines work to scaffold, support, and enhance students' thinking in K-12 classrooms. Through planning, challenging, and positioning thinking routines, students will be able to better engage with others, their own ideas, and the action around them.
PRAISE FOR THE POWER OF MAKING THINKING VISIBLE
"The authors offer a powerful vision of learning wedded to a clear and actionable framework. But, best of all, they bring the nuts and bolts of teaching to life with dozens of pictures of practices drawn from teachers and learners around the world."
David Perkins, Professor Emeritus, Harvard Graduate School of Education
"It is a rare thing to find a book so beautifully accessible to the classroom teacher while simultaneously engaging the reader in discussions of the theoretical and research basis behind the practice. I can't wait to share this powerful resource with teachers -- it is a must have in the professional library of the contemporary educator."
Kath Murdoch, International Education Consultant, Author of The Power of Inquiry
"Ritchhart and Church's energizing new volume strengt hens the case for the idea that thinking is the engine of learning. Teachers and leaders alike will appreciate the book's winning combination of readability, utility, and provocation."
Sarah Fine, Director, Teaching Apprenticeship Program, High Tech High Graduate School of Education, coauthor of In Search of Deeper Learning: The Question to Remake the American High School

Visible. Imagine the authors, Ron Ritchart and Mark Church had an opportunity to
study how the thinking routines, introduced on Project Zero’s Visible Thinking website
and then in their book, Making Thinking Visible, were being used and the impact they
have had on teaching and learning practices in classrooms. The insights they might
have gained seem to have given birth to The Power of Making Thinking Visible, in which
the authors guide educators towards making more profound use of the practice of
Making Thinking Visible.
The book makes this possible because, at the very outset, the authors pluck the
practice of Making Thinking Visible from a stand-alone existence and give it a context
within a culture of deep learning; a culture that endeavors to nurture critical thinkers
with the dispositions necessary to strive for deep enduring learning. Always, but
especially in today’s world such deep learning is vital to navigate life in a global world,
enjoy its bounties, and participate in tackling its myriad problems. Deep learning
should be the purpose and goal of all education.
“..two ideas - understanding and thinking are core to the conception of deep learning.”
With that simple statement, the authors weave the two ideas inextricably together,
making understanding the result of thinking and thinking the vehicle for
understanding. This idea resonates throughout the book in many ways. Chapters at
the beginning of the book lay out a teaching/learning approach that aspires towards
deep learning through thinking. The authors provide evidence for six fundamental
ways in which such an approach is valuable, including better test results. The new
routines are organized into three categories: routines to engage students with ideas, to
promote intellectual interaction amongst peers, and to encourage students to translate
their learning into meaningful action. Descriptions of the new routines thoughtfully
guide and encourage teachers to use the thinking routines not merely as activities, but
as the all important mode by which students can participate actively in constructing
meaning of all they are prescribed to learn. However, the biggest benefit of this
ubiquitous use of critical thinking patterns for learning is the thinking dispositions that
are likely to be cultivated in students, making it possible for them to continue to be
critical thinkers long after the lessons and school are over.
For teachers hoping to transform the teaching and learning dynamic in the
classroom so that they can work as a team with their students and empower each other
to aspire for deep learning, this is a must read book!
