      <image:title>Bio - Educator, Researcher, Author, Speaker</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ron Ritchhart has been a researcher at Project Zero, Harvard Graduate School of Education since 1994 where his research focuses on understanding how to develop, nurture, and sustain thoughtful learning environments for both students and teachers. His interest in creating cultures of thinking has lead him to conduct research in such areas as intellectual character, mindfulness, thinking dispositions,  teaching for understanding, creativity in teaching, and the development of communities of practice. Ron is a sought after speaker for his ability to connect with and engage fellow educators in these powerful, big-picture ideas, while simultaneously providing useful insights into and practical ideas for advancing the complex world of teaching and learning. Prior to joining the Project Zero research group, Ron taught for fourteen years.  He began his teaching career in New Zealand teaching 35 six and seven year olds in a state school in Christchurch as part of a teaching internship program.  From there he taught art in Indiana before moving to Denver, Colorado where he taught third and fourth grade.  Frustrated with the way he was teaching mathematics, Ron pursued a mathematics education degree and later taught middle school mathematics. In 1993 he received the Presidential Award for Excellence in Secondary Mathematics Teaching. Ron's research is classroom and school-based, believing that teaching is a complex art and science that must be understood in context.  A strong theme of learning from best practice runs throughout much of Ron’s work. His research on how teachers create thoughtful learning environments that support the development of students' intellectual character was the basis for the book: Intellectual Character: What it is, Why it matters, How to get it.    His book, Making Thinking Visible, co-authored with Mark Church and Karin Morrison, has been one of education’s best-selling books for over a decade and has popularized the use of thinking routines worldwide. Ron’s framework for understanding group culture, detailed in the book Creating Cultures of Thinking, has been influential in shaping education in schools and museums throughout the world. Howard Gardner has called the book “ a tour de force” for Ron’s ability to seamlessly merge theory, research, practice and application together in a highly accessible and engaging manner. Ron’s latest book, The Power of Making Thinking Visible, co-authored with Mark Church, explores the power that visible thinking practices can have in transforming schools and classrooms.

      <image:title>Books - Creating Cultures of Thinking: The 8 Forces We Must Master to Truly Transform Our Schools</image:title>
      <image:caption>by Ron Ritchhart It seems like we are in the throes of curriculum reforms designed to transform education. However, these efforts generally neglect the vital role classroom and school culture play in promoting learning. Any curriculum, good or bad, will sink or float on the culture of the classroom in which it is enacted. Culture matters not only to realize curricular goals, but also as a shaper of students’ development as powerful thinkers and learners. Creating Cultures of Thinking builds the case for “enculturation” as the key to deep learning and the development of the habits of mind and dispositions needed in a changing world. He demystifies the process of creating dynamic learning communities by first identifying and then walking us through the eight forces we must marshal to build strong group culture. Case studies, practical guidelines, self-assessments, and inquiry projects enable teachers and administrators—as well as anyone interested in fostering group learning—to understand and shape powerful learning communities.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Books - Making Thinking Visible: How to Promote Engagement, Understanding, and Independence for All Learners by Ron Ritchhart, Mark Church, and Karin Morrison</image:title>
      <image:caption>One of the best-selling books in education, Making Thinking Visible introduced the world to the idea of thinking routines, simple structures that help to scaffold and support students’ thinking. These research based tools help to demystify the process of thinking and make it both visible and accessible. This ground breaking book unravels the mysteries of thinking and its connection to understanding and engagement. The book takes the reader into diverse learning environments to show how teachers at any grade level or subject area can make thinking visible through effective questioning, listening, documentation, and the use of thinking routines. Twenty-one research-tested thinking routines are showcased along with pictures of practice, tips for implementation, assessment strategies, and suggested uses and variations. A DVD of the routines being used in real classrooms is included. This book has been translated into Chinese, Spanish, and Japanese.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Books - Intellectual Character: What It is, Why It Matters, and How to Get It.</image:title>
      <image:caption>By Ron Ritchhart What does it really mean to be intelligent? Ron Ritchhart presents a new and powerful view of intelligence that moves beyond ability to focus on cognitive dispositions such as curiosity, skepticism, and open mindedness. Arguing persuasively for this new conception of intelligence, the author uses vivid classroom vignettes to explore the foundations of intellectual character and describe how teachers can enculturate productive patterns of thinking in their students. Intellectual Character presents illustrative, inspiring stories of exemplary teachers to help show how intellectual traits and thinking dispositions can be developed and cultivated in students to promote successful learning. This vital book provides a model of authentic and powerful teaching and offers practical strategies for creating classroom environments that support thinking.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The major way I collaborate with schools and districts is through ongoing, multi-year partnerships. These partnership can take a variety of forms, such as: Teacher cohorts groups each year to embed the ideas of cultures of thinking. Leadership teams focused on develop skills around facilitation and coaching as it relates to a culture of thinking. Action Inquiry cycles in which we do a deep dive into the 8 cultural forces. Learning Labs in which teachers come together to co-plan, teach, and reflect on lessons using thinking routines</image:caption>

      <image:title>Collaborations - Seminars &amp; Workshops</image:title>
      <image:caption>I conduct one, two, three, and four day workshops in schools on either Cultures of Thinking or Making Thinking Visible. Sometimes these workshops are conducted in one single visit, and sometimes they are spread out over a school year. Occasionally schools will host a workshop that they open to outside participants.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Understanding Thinking - Understanding and Supporting Thinking</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Learning to Think, Thinking to Learn initially focused on developing students abilities and dispositions around three specific types of thinking: Reasoning with evidence, Connection making, and Perspective Taking. The project carefully reviewed the literature on each topic to identify what was involved in each type of thinking, what the natural trajectory of development looked like, how each type of thinking appeared in different subject areas, key markers of progress and development, and what types of strategies, practices, and thinking routines would be useful in promoting development. For each type of thinking we put together a matrix that captured these key ideas. Below you can download the matrix for each type of thinking by clicking on the image. Our hope is that these will not be used to “grade” or “score” thinking, but will provide teachers guidance about what to look for and how to grow students’ thinking as seek to foster powerful thinkers and learners.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Publications (Copy) - Creating Cultures of Thinking: The 8 Forces We Must Master to Truly Transform Our Schools</image:title>
      <image:caption>by Ron Ritchhart It seems like we are in the throes of curriculum reforms designed to transform education. However, these efforts generally neglect the vital role classroom and school culture play in promoting learning. Any curriculum, good or bad, will sink or float on the culture of the classroom in which it is enacted. Culture matters not only to realize curricular goals, but also as a shaper of students’ development as powerful thinkers and learners. Creating Cultures of Thinking builds the case for “enculturation” as the key to deep learning and the development of the habits of mind and dispositions needed in a changing world. He demystifies the process of creating dynamic learning communities by first identifying and then walking us through the eight forces we must marshal to build strong group culture. Case studies, practical guidelines, self-assessments, and inquiry projects enable teachers and administrators—as well as anyone interested in fostering group learning—to understand and shape powerful learning communities.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Publications (Copy) - Making Thinking Visible: How to Promote Engagement, Understanding, and Independence for All Learners by Ron Ritchhart, Mark Church, and Karin Morrison</image:title>
      <image:caption>One of the best-selling books in education, Making Thinking Visible introduced the world to the idea of thinking routines, simple structures that help to scaffold and support students’ thinking. These research based tools help to demystify the process of thinking and make it both visible and accessible. This ground breaking book unravels the mysteries of thinking and its connection to understanding and engagement. The book takes the reader into diverse learning environments to show how teachers at any grade level or subject area can make thinking visible through effective questioning, listening, documentation, and the use of thinking routines. Twenty-one research-tested thinking routines are showcased along with pictures of practice, tips for implementation, assessment strategies, and suggested uses and variations. A DVD of the routines being used in real classrooms is included. This book has been translated into Chinese, Spanish, and Japanese.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Publications (Copy) - Intellectual Character: What It is, Why It Matters, and How to Get It.</image:title>
      <image:caption>By Ron Ritchhart What does it really mean to be intelligent? Ron Ritchhart presents a new and powerful view of intelligence that moves beyond ability to focus on cognitive dispositions such as curiosity, skepticism, and open mindedness. Arguing persuasively for this new conception of intelligence, the author uses vivid classroom vignettes to explore the foundations of intellectual character and describe how teachers can enculturate productive patterns of thinking in their students. Intellectual Character presents illustrative, inspiring stories of exemplary teachers to help show how intellectual traits and thinking dispositions can be developed and cultivated in students to promote successful learning. This vital book provides a model of authentic and powerful teaching and offers practical strategies for creating classroom environments that support thinking.</image:caption>

      <image:title>CoT in Action - Cultures of Thinking in Action</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Cultures of Thinking in Action project, begun in 2015, is funded with a gift from the Melville Hankins Family Foundation in Santa Fe, New Mexico.  This gift funds support and research for developing the Cultures of Thinking ideas at the Mandela International Magnet School in Santa Fe and across New Mexico. This project is part of the Worldwide Cultures of Thinking Project and aims to develop the ability of students to learn to think and think to learn.  To accomplish this, the project draws on the extensive research of Project Zero related to thinking, learning, and teaching for understanding.  The project has four research fronts guided by the following questions: How can we better understand the process of thinking so that we can support and nurture its development in our students? What are the fundamental stances or mindsets toward learning and teaching that propel schools and educators in the creating of cultures of thinking? How do we nurture those mindsets? What is the power in using thinking routines as a foundational educational practice? How do teachers use thinking routines to maximum effect? How do we lead, coach and support the development of cultures of thinking across a school and in individual classrooms You can read more about and download the materials we have produced by clicking on the links below. As always we are interested in hear how how you have used these materials and the difference they have made to your teaching and students’ learning. We have also just launched a new website that supports the Cultures of Thinking in Action work. You can access it here www.cultures-of-thinking.org. We are also currently working on a book that would be an additional resource.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Power of MTV - FOSTERING DEEP LEARNING</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Visible Thinking project, which began in 2000, built on the Teaching for Understanding project. These two ideas, understanding and thinking, are core to conceptions of deep learning. While no single definition exists of deep learning, The Hewlett Foundation defines deeper learning as the significant understanding of core academic content, coupled with the ability to think critically and solve problems with that content. These core academic competencies are joined by the interpersonal and intra-personal abilities of collaboration, communication, directing one’s own learning, and the possession of positive beliefs and attitudes about oneself as a learner that serve to motivate one’s ongoing learning. Erik Lindemann from Osborne Elementary School in Quaker Valley, Pennsylvania, sees these elements coming into play as he makes thinking visible in his 3rd grade classroom. “The story of our classroom learning is dramatically different when we use visible thinking routines. The routines build learners’ capacity to engage with complexity while inspiring exploration. As my students begin internalizing and applying these thinking tools, I become a consultant in their ongoing investigations. Curiosity and excitement fuel deeper learning as my students take the lead,” he observes. Erik’s remarks attest to the transformative power of making students’ thinking visible.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Power of MTV - CULTIVATING ENGAGED STUDENTS</image:title>
      <image:caption>We identify 3 types of engagement that thinking routines foster: 1) engagement with others, 2) engagement with ideas, and 3) engagement in action. In engaging with others, we recognize that learning unfolds in the company of others and is a social endeavor. The group supports our learning as well as challenges it, allowing us to reach higher levels of performance. At the same time, learning demands a personal engagement with ideas, building understanding is an active process that involves digging in and making sense. Exploring meaningful and important concepts connected to the world often means students want to take action. Providing opportunities and structures for them to do so encourages students’ agency and power while making the learning relevant. Secondary math teacher Jeff Watson at the International Academy in Oakland County, Michigan, reflects on the difference in engagement in his students through visible thinking. “Math classrooms tend to be lecture-oriented, teacher-centered environments,’” he laments. In contrast, Jeff notes that “thinking routines are an incredible way to change the entire classroom dynamic, as learning naturally turns over to the students and places them in a more active role. The best part is that while the changes are so powerful, they don’t cost any money, require any curriculum changes, or sweeping reform.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Power of MTV - CHANGING THE ROLE OF STUDENT &amp; TEACHER</image:title>
      <image:caption>When teachers embrace the goal of making their students’ thinking visible and begin to make use of the associated practices, they begin to see shifts in the roles played by teachers and students. These shifts are small at first but over time have the potential to become seismic. To be sure, when many teachers start using thinking routines they may be merely tacked on to the traditional transmission model of teaching as ways to enliven learning. Even when this happens, teachers still may see glimmers of what’s possible. Teachers must then embrace this potential and cultivate it through the regular, thoughtful application of MTV processes. They must adopt not only the practices but also the goal of visible thinking. This necessitates taking a new stance toward teaching, of changing the story of learning one is telling, and re-conceptualizing the goals of education. While teachers whose classrooms are most transformed do not abandon curriculum or preparing students for high-stakes tests, they see their role as teaching beyond the test toward preparing students for a lifetime of learning. The test is only one small marker along the way. Listen to Cameron Paterson: “While I want my students to do well on the tests, I also want them to develop the dispositions they need to thrive in a globalized world full of robots - to be able to think for themselves, create and question.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Power of MTV - ENHANCING OUR FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT PRACTICE</image:title>
      <image:caption>If we want to know not just what our students know, but how they know it, then we must make their thinking visible. Thus, making students’ thinking visible is a formative assessment practice. As Stevens Cooperative School principal Shehla Ghouse explains, “Insights into student thinking provide teachers with invaluable information that can be used to plan next steps for individual students. It also helps us better understand the individual learner and ways in which to reach them more effectively to further their learning.” Speaking about the specific benefits of thinking routines as formative assessment tools, Katrin Robertson identifies their open-ended nature as being particularly useful with her university students. “By asking students to make their thinking visible through a thinking routine, I not only can collect data about specific areas of their learning that I want to understand, but also am able to reveal students’ learning in ways that I had not considered or anticipated.” She adds that by providing both sought after and unanticipated information, thinking routines “help me design better learning opportunities that support and extend students’ learning in rich and nuanced ways as we move forward in our learning.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Power of MTV - IMPROVING LEARNING (EVEN WHEN MEASURED BY STANDARDIZED TESTS)</image:title>
      <image:caption>When we began sharing thinking routines and visible thinking practices, we often received questions about how their use related to students’ test performance. To be honest, we couldn’t answer those questions. We knew that the routines engaged students in their learning, got them to think, and helped them build understanding. We felt this would help them on standardized tests, but we had no evidence. However, in the intervening years we have been able to collect this data. In determining the effects on students’ performance, we rely on the data from individual teachers and schools who have embraced MTV as both a goal and a practice and nurtured it at their schools or classrooms through sustained professional learning. The results have been impressive. We’ve seen gains on a diverse range of tests used across a variety of countries, subjects, and grade levels including on PARCC, Smarter Balanced, IB Diploma, VCE, HSC, and MEAP. In an experimental study, conducted by our colleague Yerko Sepulvada at the university level, students who received instruction using thinking routines scored a full 1.3 points higher (on a 7-point scale) than their peers receiving traditional instruction. As Cameron Paterson states, “When I make students’ thinking visible, it becomes shared, so it is ‘our’ thinking, bounced off each other, rather than locked inside their heads. This process of publicly sharing thinking builds our collective understanding. We all learn more AND they do well on the tests.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Power of MTV - DEVELOPING THINKING DISPOSITIONS</image:title>
      <image:caption>The main goal of the Visible Thinking project was to develop students as thinkers and learners by cultivating their dispositions toward thinking. When we make thinking visible as a regular part of the classroom through our useof thinking routines, documentation, questioning, and listening, we send a message to students that thinking is valued. It is infused in everything we do and becomes part of the fabric of the classroom. Students come to see the value in their thinking and become more inclined toward thinking as an important part of their learning rather than as an occasional add-on. This changes who they are as learners. Denise Coffin, a kindergarten teacher at Sidwell Friends School in DC, has seen how regular effort to make thinking visible changes her kindergarten students. “Over the years, I have noticed that my learners take all of this with them when they leave kindergarten. The thinking continues to deepen and the routine becomes an innate habit or disposition. I see my learners take this newly formed learning identity, routines and all, to other disciplines and even to interactions with their families.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>John Dewey famously said that we don’t learn by doing, but by reflecting on our doing. Of course, making reflection a regular part of teaching can be challenging. One of the tools we have developed to both foster reflection is the Snapshot Observation Protocol in which small groups of teachers observe a colleague, not to offer feedback but to use whatever they observe as a basis for reflecting on their own teaching.</image:caption>
