Inhaltsangabe

From leading educational researcher Ron Ritchhart, a deep dive that illuminates what the foundational mindsets needed to create cultures of thinking really looks like in action.

Building on the framework presented in the best-selling Creating Cultures of Thinking, Ron Ritchhart’s new book, Cultures of Thinking in Action, takes the next step in helping readers not only understand how a culture of thinking looks and feels, but also how to create it for themselves and their learners. Arguing that no set of practices or techniques alone is sufficient to create a culture of thinking in and of itself, Ritchhart explores the underlying beliefs that motivate the creation of cultures of thinking, presenting key mindsets every educator and leader needs to embrace if they are serious about creating powerful thinkers and learners.

Much more than just an instructional guide, Cultures of Thinking in Action offers readers a reflective journey into their own teaching, leading, and parentingwhile providing the foundation and concrete strategies needed to create and develop a culture of thinking for all learners.

This book:

• Presents ten foundational mindsets of a culture of thinking
• Includes the latest research of the Cultures of Thinking Project
• Includes questions, exercises, and discussion prompts to inspire reflection by individuals and teams
• Provides case studies and best practice scenarios to exemplify each mindset
• Provides useful data collection tools to inform one’s teaching practice

Praise for Cultures of Thinking in Action

"How do we empower and support adults in deep learning so that they will create the same conditions for students in their classrooms? In Cultures of Thinking in Action, Ron Ritchhart provides the roadmap to help move us beyond one-off performative 'thinking' strategies toward transformative habits of mind and practice for both teachers and students that create the conditions for deep learning."
―Zaretta Hammond, Author, Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain: Promoting Authentic Engagement and Rigor Among Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Students

"Internationally renowned leader of Making Thinking Visible and Teaching for Understanding work, Ron Ritchhart begins this book by reminding us that there is no quick fix to promote thinking and understanding―we must cultivate school cultures that empower teachers and students to think and work deeply together. Thankfully, he then provides hundreds of concrete practices, routines, structures, and questions to guide us in creating classroom and school cultures of deeper thinking and learning."
