Visible Thinking Research Projects

The 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."

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.

Project Zero/International Schools Consortium Partnership focuses on Project Zero's framework, Teaching for Understanding, with secondary attention given to issues about assessment and thinking dispositions, Multiple Intelligences, and the arts in education.

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.
