Using Thinking Moves to Reach Deeper Scientific Understanding

Create engaging opportunities to master new concepts and shift the cognitive load to students with focused thinking moves. In this 30-minute professional development workshop, we'll focus on the 8 Thinking Moves featured in Ron Ritchhart's book Making Thinking Visible. We'll focus on ways to make thinking moves a shared instructional practice and a common part of how students learn to deepen their own understanding as scientists and engineers.

In this interactive session we’ll learn:

• what the 8 Thinking Moves are

• how each move supports the development of understanding
• how to embed Thinking Moves into your classroom routines

Learn how each thinking move can be used as a tool to deepen students’ understanding of new concepts in science.
