As language teachers, most of us have a tendency to focus on only teaching grammar and not developing a deeper understanding of what has been taught. Reading this article provide me with several tips to better my teaching style and will allow me to provide a more enriched learning experience for my students.

Honnie Faith Balingway II's curator insight, February 20, 2019 9:36 PM
According to the research THINKING is the process of using one's mind to consider or reason about something.

In our class at school of course we are all using our mind and we use our knowledge and wisdom to think. But not all students applying their thinking or knowledge in a good way maybe because of lack of support from their own parents and have not enough skills.

But for me, I can apply my thinking or my knowledge by making good decisions, skills to communicate others and more encouragement.
Eloiza Paculob Delson II's curator insight, February 20, 2019 9:53 PM
Yes, kids are thinking but some of them are applying it in a wrong way. But some of kids are applying it in a good way.

Kids are creating different things, they go to school to learn.
Kids are very creative in many ways. Parents and Teachers are helping kids to expand their knowledge.

Tools for sharing thinking via @ncoutts

Teachers and students have access to an impressive set of tools for sharing
ideas and making thinking visible. The old model of calling out answers to
questions has certain limitations and while it remains the mainstay of many
classrooms new options allow for a mix of options. Some of our goals are to
provide our students with appropriate wait time or think time and to ensure
the voice of even our most introverted students is heard. It would also be
nice to have a record of our students thinking and a way to easily see
patterns of thinking across a group of students.

Ten reasons to teach thinking

The teaching of thinking is a critical endeavour for teachers and one that
brings enhanced learning opportunities for students. Unfortunately thinking
is not something that we naturally do well and as a consequence it is a
skill we need to learn. Understanding this is the first step towards
establishing a culture of thinking in your classroom but encouraging an
entire school to get on board with this can be difficult and given our
already crowded curriculum anything that seems to add to th

In most classrooms, the teacher supplies the questions that students must answer. Rothstein’s example shows how powerful learning can be when educators have students come up with their own questions to answer.

How do creative people come up with great ideas? Organizational psychologist Adam Grant studies "originals": thinkers who dream up new ideas and take action to put them into the world. In this talk, learn three unexpected habits of originals -- including embracing failure. "The greatest originals are the ones who fail the most, because they're the ones who try the most," Grant says. "You need a lot of bad ideas in order to get a few good ones."
