Visible Thinking is a broad and flexible framework for enriching classroom learning in the content areas and fostering students' intellectual development at the same time. Here are some of its key goals:
Deeper understanding of content
Greater motivation for learning
Development of learners' thinking and learning
abilities.
Development of learners' attitudes toward thinking
and learning and their alertness to opportunities for thinking and learning
(the "dispositional" side of thinking).
A shift in classroom culture toward a community
of enthusiastically engaged thinkers and learners.

artificial sense of constant crisis. We are always in high alert when
we pay continuous partial attention.
