Teaching for Thinking will give teachers a whole new perspective on how their students think-about schoolwork, about problems, about learning-and it will also give these teachers a powerful new tool for reaching ALL of their students. The authors note that there are three basic types of students; analytical, creative and practical. Each type thinks in a different way, utilizes different strengths and strategies in figuring out problems, and learns differently. Now, with this lively, enjoyable handbook, richly illustrated with classroom vignettes, humorous anecdotes and case studies from the authors' own experiences, teachers can gain an excellent understanding of which category their own students fall into. This book shows teachers how to put a variety of new tactics to work, right in their own classrooms-tactics that will blend the three different approaches into classroom activities, test designs and assignments, that will bring out the best in every student, and help each one to succeed, both inside and outside of the classroom. 1996.163 pages.
