The 8 Forces We Must Master to Truly Transform Our Schools
Discover why and how schools must become places where thinkingis valued, visible, and actively promoted
As educators, parents, and citizens, we must settle for nothing
less than environments that bring out the best in people, take
learning to the next level, allow for great discoveries, and propel
both the individual and the group forward into a lifetime of
learning. This is something all teachers want and all students
deserve. In Creating Cultures of Thinking: The 8 Forces We Must
Master to Truly Transform Our Schools, Ron Ritchhart, author of
Making Thinking Visible, explains how creating a culture of
thinking is more important to learning than any particular
curriculum and he outlines how any school or teacher can accomplish
this by leveraging 8 cultural forces: expectations, language, time,
modeling, opportunities, routines, interactions, and
environment.
With the techniques and rich classroom vignettes throughout this
book, Ritchhart shows that creating a culture of thinking is not
about just adhering to a particular set of practices or a general
expectation that people should be involved in thinking. A culture
of thinking produces the feelings, energy, and even joy that can
propel learning forward and motivate us to do what at times can be
hard and challenging mental work.
