A thinking routine is a set of questions or a brief sequence of steps used to scaffold and support student thinking. Project Zero researchers have developed a variety of thinking routines that are applicable across disciplines, topics, and age groups, and can be used at multiple points throughout a learning experience or unit of study. This workshop will introduce the concept of thinking routines, engage participants in the use of one particular routine: Parts, Perspectives and Complexities, along with a hands-on activity, and discuss ways to adapt a thinking routine for participants' classrooms.
In this session you will:
- Identify key ideas defining thinking routines.
- Apply the Parts, Perspectives and Complexities thinking routines.
- Describe potential ways to adapt the thinking routine to implement in their own classroom.
