9781605545561: Hot Skills: Developing Higher-Order Thinking in Young Learners

Synopsis

Young learners are capable of a great deal of higher-order thinking, yet too many teaching and learning activities require students to use only lower-order thinking. HOT Skills breaks down theory into practice so you won’t miss an opportunity to help young learners develop logical, critical, and creative thinking skills.

Dr. Saifer provides numerous strategies for infusing play-based activities and interactions that promote higher-order thinking across all content areas and throughout the day. Just as establishing good nutrition habits early sets the foundation for a healthier life, developing basic-level HOT skills sets the foundation for a more productive and purposeful life.
