Publisher's Synopsis

Perhaps the greatest of the many virtues of this volume is its answers to complex questions about today's K-12 critical thinking movement. The book's easy-to-use techniques for integrating critical thinking into the major content areas make higher order thinking accessible to all students. The text includes techniques for:
* planning, monitoring, and evaluating thinking;
* incorporating thinking skills into the present curriculum;
* teaching thinking skills directly;
* creating a thinking environment;
* stimulating creativity;
* teaching for transfer; and
* evaluating thinking resources.

Sample lessons (elementary and secondary), reproducible worksheets, and planning sheets are provided. This book is ideal for anyone who wants to implement and evaluate critical thinking using a single comprehensive resource.
