Instructional Elements for Fostering Higher-Order Thinking in the Classroom
Category: General Teaching Practices
(Synthesized from Teaching Children to Be Literate: A Reflective Approach, by Anthony and Ula Manzo, 1995)
- Remember to ask for it; that is, for discovery, invention, and artistic/literary creation.
- Great curiosity and new ideas with enthusiasm; these can often lead to the most valuable “teachable moments.”
- Expose learners to new twists on old patterns and invite looking at old patterns from new angles.
- Constructively critique new ideas because they almost always require some fine-tuning.
- Reset our expectations to the fact that there will be many more “misses” than “hits” when reaching for workable new ideas.
- Learn to invite contrary, or opposing, positions; new possibilities are often discovered in this way and existing thoughts, patterns, and beliefs can be tested and strengthened.
