Students Don’t Think!
Two areas of research:1. Researching students NOT thinking!
– what does it look like?– how prevalent is it?– what occassions it?
2. Creating thinking classrooms!– what does it look like?– how do we build one?– how do we sustain one?

Creating thinking classrooms
• what does it look like?– engagement, flow, loud, interactive
• how do we build one?– with extreme intervention
• how do we sustain one?– by avoiding proxies
