Pathways to Thinking Schools

The title of this book-- Pathways to Thinking Schools--represents a declaration of what many people inside and outside of education from around the world now believe should be the central focus of education. Presented within these chapters is documentation and examples showing how the explicit focus on thinking may become a foundation for every school, from many different vantage points and from several different countries. In one sense, our schools need to "recharter" their vision of schooling. We know that our work as educators is no longer simply about delivering more content knowledge, better technology, or more complex testing regimens. We need to explicitly develop our students' thinking abilities so that they deepen content knowledge, build concepts, and filter the abundance of information flowing through virtual networks.
