Summary: Making thinking visible is the idea that learning is about making connections between topics, concepts, and activities rather than steps, assignments, and testing. The power of developing thinking routines is the positive impact they have on student engagement and learning. A thinking routine is the pattern by which we operate and go about the job of learning and working together in a classroom environment. A follow up to a best selling title. In the years since Making Thinking Visible the author has been working with colleagues at Project Zero, a research group founded within the Harvard Graduate School of Education, to develop and trial new thinking routines to facility student engagement and learning. The result of that research is a new book that focuses on the power that thinking routines can bring to learning. This is a second book, not a second edition. The theory and research found in Making Thinking Visible is not repeated in this book. This book focuses on new research, new global case studies, and new ideas .
