Books like Creating cultures of thinking by Ron Ritchhart


Ron Ritchhart’s book explains why creating a culture of thinking is more vital to learning than any specific curriculum. The author identifies eight forces—expectations, language, time, modeling, opportunities, routines, interactions, and environment—that schools and teachers can use to make thinking shine. With real classroom vignettes and practical techniques, Ritchhart shows how a culture of thinking generates the energy, joy, and motivation students need for deep, challenging work.
