LAYING THE FOUNDATION FOR POWER
CHAPTER 1
Six Powers of Making Thinking Visible
To really focus on making thinking visible fundamentally changes the role of student and teacher. As I utilize thinking routines and document our learning, I notice my students speaking up more and guiding our learning. Focusing on students' thinking places the power in their hands and fosters a teacher–student relationship built on mutual trust and respect.Alexandra Sánchez, Third‐Grade Teacher Parkview Elementary School, Novi, Michigan
When I make my classes' thinking visible, it's like putting a dipstick in to check the oil. I can immediately see what they do and don't understand. It's a cue to what I need to do next in my teaching. This is probably the biggest way that my teaching has changed since I started teaching 25 years ago. I'm now much more responsive to my students' thinking.Cameron Paterson, Director of Teaching and Learning, Secondary History Teacher, Shore School, Sydney, Australia
Witnessing nonverbal students with moderate cognitive impairments shift from struggling to answer assigned reading comprehension questions to proudly displaying their thinking has forever changed my view of supporting learners with neurodiversity. Making thinking visible practices offer these students a path previously untraveled, giving them a voice, a purpose, and a sense of pride. I see a huge shift in attitudes regarding the learning outcomes and thinking abilities of these learners across our school.Erika Lusky, Secondary Speech and Language Pathologist, Instructional Coach Rochester High School, Rochester, Michigan
