Some of the reading I have done dealt with identifying miscues or misconceptions that students hold and helping them to confront these ideas through meaningful and timely feedback. However, I did not receive much guidance as to how to identify these. Now I feel like I have a little more tangible help. For the last week, I have been reading Making Thinking Visible by Ron Richart, Mark Church, and Karin Morrison. The book is replete with "thinking routines" that if practiced will help to make students' thinking visible so the teacher is able to see it. I am hoping to try out a few of these routines in my classroom next week when the new school year begins.
