"When we design classroom experiences so that students think deeply, critically, and imaginatively, both within and across content areas, they become adults who think. By looking at each of the four types of thinking as a framework for designing learning experiences, this book focuses in on a curated selection of high-impact strategies that 6-12 teachers can become familiar with and master early in their teaching careers and beyond. The book is presented as a usable manual of strategies, acknowledging the individual preferences, personalities, and interests of students, in an attempt to make classrooms work for all.
