Thinking with Standards-Preparing for Tomorrow (Secondary Level)
Today, we are all concerned with addressing detailed state or national standards in every curriculum or content area. It is possible to meet those standards and, at the same time, to engage your students" creative and critical thinking skills. This series of books is filled with activities that help students apply creative and critical thinking to traditional subject area content. In addition to the reproducible, ready-to-use activities contained in this book, the authors explain how creative and critical thinking can be infused into any content you teach. This is a must-have resource for teachers wanting to infuse thinking skills into the traditional curriculum. Each book provides a variety of sample teaching activities, with step-by-step procedures and a reproducible student page, illustrating how the generating and focusing tools from the problem solver’s "basic toolbox" can be applied to specific content standards. You can also use this book as a model to guide you in your own efforts to link creative and critical thinking skills with other content standards. For younger students see Thinking With Standards - Elementary and Thinking With Standards - Middle. Educational Resource
