What kinds of thinking do you value and
want to promote in your classroom?
![Page 14: Michele McCurdy michele.mccurdy@esc16](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012708/61a893805787bf5543095415/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Think of one of your past lessons, what
kinds of thinking did the lesson force
students to do?
![Page 15: Michele McCurdy michele.mccurdy@esc16](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012708/61a893805787bf5543095415/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Think of one of your past lessons, what
kinds of thinking did the lesson force

Ask yourself:

Being clear in our own minds about kinds of thinking we want students to do.
Where opportunities are created for the kinds of thinking we value and want to make the expectation.
Leads to more effective instructional planning
Making students thinking about thinking visible.
Allowing us to target and promote those valued types of thinking in our questioning and interactions with students.

Observe and Explain
Write what you have observed and explain why you think it happened. Use drawings to help with explanation.
![Page 31: Michele McCurdy michele.mccurdy@esc16](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012708/61a893805787bf5543095415/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Share Initial Observations
T – “What makes you say that?” to help students elaborate on their observations.

Share Reactions and Discuss
By allowing students theories to be the object of continual DISCUSSION, JUSTIFICATION, and REFINEMENT
we allow students to be in charge of DEVELOPING THEIR UNDERSTANDING and not merely provide information
for memorization on a test.

MYST Thinking Protocol

When we reduce the amount of thinking we ask of our students, we reduce the amount of
learning as well.
1. Reflect on a lesson from the past few weeks – redesign the lesson to increase the amount of thinking?
2. How can you make this increased thinking visible so you can respond to students learning needs?

What are my students learning about learning?
What messages am I sending through the opportunities I create for my students about what learning is and how learning happens?
