Thinking ProjectsThe Artful Thinking program helps students develop thinking dispositions that support thoughtful learning--in the arts, and across school subjects. Currently in use by teachers in grades K-8, the Artful Thinking program is a member of growing international network of K-12 programs, linked by the theme “Visible Thinking." The Creative Classroom Project is a collaboration between Project Zero and the Disney Learning Partnership to produce tools and knowledge to inform and support creativity in teaching. Cultures of Thinking is a collaboration with Bialik College in Melbourne, Australia. The project looks at the process of creating a school-wide culture of thinking that supports the development of students' thinking dispositions. Innovating with Intelligence is an international project that is developing a research-based approach to teaching thinking dispositions. Based partly at Lemshaga Akademi in Sweden, and partly at pilot schools in the US, the program is exploring high-leverage ways to develop students' thinking dispositions in such areas as truth-seeking, understanding, fairness, and imagination. Patterns of Thinking was a multi-year investigation into the nature of critical and creative thinking. The project's focus was the understanding, teaching, and assessment of thinking dispositions. Smart Schools provided a structure for schools by envisioning a learning community that is steeped in thinking and deep understanding; that engenders respect for all its members; and that produces students who are ready to face the world as responsible, thinking members of a diverse society. Visible Thinking is an approach to teaching and learning that emphasizes the use of thinking routines and documentation to make thinking more visible in classrooms. Thinking routines support the development of students as self-directed learners and learning for understanding. Visible Thinking is used as the instructional approach in several projects and the ideas associated with it continue to develop.
