Cultivate classrooms where students actively think, critique, create, and question. With Thinking About Thinking in IB Schools, educators will discover how to employ the rich and rigorous curriculum of International Baccalaureate schools to develop these essential qualities in students. Each chapter opens with a driving question, dives into a specific skill, and offers concrete strategies for engaging students in deep thinking.

Use this resource to foster critical, creative thinkers in your IB classroom:

  • Study the Theory of Knowledge and its driving question: How do we know what we know?
  • Explore the International Baccalaureate school curriculum as a framework for the book.
  • Identify the higher-order-thinking processes that characterize reflective, proficient learners.
  • Discover the seven "think links" that tie together metacognitive attributes and behaviors.
  • Encounter research and real-life examples that support and illustrate the importance of each metacognitive think link.
  • Learn specific teaching strategies for enhancing student learning through self-reflection.
