https://padlet.com/vdenuzzo1_1/ykcovgsp3ih9 After Reading the Article, How Does Higher-Order Thinking Connect To Our "Vision of the Graduate"? en-us 2019-03-05 17:45:00 UTC 2025-11-14 23:48:42 UTC hello@padlet.com ecaturano1_1 https://padlet.com/vdenuzzo1_1/ykcovgsp3ih9/wish/338100142 We want our students to be thinking beyond surface knowledge, into inquiry, to help better equip them at their next level of study or work. We are trying to make sure they can investigate and discover the truth on their own in a world of fake news. Give them the tools to self-evaluate the work that they do in the real world. It encourages them to have discussions in life to prepare for the variety of conversations that they might encounter. It will encourage students to think beyond the facts to the outcomes.]]> 2019-03-05 19:32:39 UTC https://padlet.com/vdenuzzo1_1/ykcovgsp3ih9/wish/338100142 https://padlet.com/vdenuzzo1_1/ykcovgsp3ih9/wish/338100548 -  DP, LC, RJ, BG, AB, HL-
Does it connect to what we're doing now?
- it lends itself to English- we ask WHY- why would a character act they way they do? (think don't retell)
- in math we have Ss critique and find mistakes- analyze work and look for the steps taken
- In history, we ask a lot of open-ended questions, small groups what could have been done?  What were some choices/ consequences?
- If we are looking for Ss to be more independent- we need to give them more time to have direct self-assessments]]> 2019-03-05 19:33:11 UTC https://padlet.com/vdenuzzo1_1/ykcovgsp3ih9/wish/338100548 https://padlet.com/vdenuzzo1_1/ykcovgsp3ih9/wish/338100694 problem solving

Using more discovery activities instead of skill and drill will help students understand overall concepts instead of memorizing steps. ]]> 2019-03-05 19:33:22 UTC https://padlet.com/vdenuzzo1_1/ykcovgsp3ih9/wish/338100694 https://padlet.com/vdenuzzo1_1/ykcovgsp3ih9/wish/338100834 2019-03-05 19:33:37 UTC https://padlet.com/vdenuzzo1_1/ykcovgsp3ih9/wish/338100834 https://padlet.com/vdenuzzo1_1/ykcovgsp3ih9/wish/338100894 This article connects to our vision of the graduate since we want students to be self-directed learners.]]> 2019-03-05 19:33:43 UTC https://padlet.com/vdenuzzo1_1/ykcovgsp3ih9/wish/338100894 https://padlet.com/vdenuzzo1_1/ykcovgsp3ih9/wish/338100919 Students need to be college and career ready and be prepared to be productive members of society.  Need higher-order thinking skills in order to do this

They need to have skills to evaluate what other people are saying and they will be less likely to challenge others thinking if they do not have confidence in themselves.
