Project Zero - Thinking Routine Toolbox

 PZ's Mission: Project Zero’s mission is to understand and nurture human potentials –such as learning, thinking, ethics, intelligence and creativity –in all human beings. Our research examines the nature of such potentials, the contexts and conditions in which they develop, and the practices that support their flourishment.

Today I wanted to explore Project Zero'sThinking Routines Toolbox. The toolbox brings together routines and strategies to support student learning across grade levels and subject areas.

Welcome to Project Zero’s Thinking Routines Toolbox. This toolbox highlights thinking routines developed across a number of research projects at PZ. A thinking routine is a set of questions or a brief sequence of steps used to scaffold and support student thinking. PZ researchers designed thinking routines to deepen students’ thinking and to help make that thinking “visible.” Thinking routines help to reveal students’ thinking to the teacher and also help students themselves to notice and name particular “thinking moves,” making those moves more available and useful to them in other contexts. If you're new to thinking routines and PZ's research, please click here to explore more about thinking routines. For Tips for Using Thinking Routines Effectively, click here.

The amount of information on the Project Zero site can be a little overwhelming, which is why I recommend starting with the toolbox. The toolbox is searchable, but scrolling down the page should give someone a pretty good understanding of resources.
