Discover why and how schools must become places where thinking is valued, visible, and actively promoted.

As educators, parents, and citizens, we must settle for nothing less than environments that bring out the best in people, take learning to the next level, allow for great discoveries, and propel both the individual and the group forward into a lifetime of learning. This is something all teachers want and all students deserve. In Creating Cultures of Thinking: The 8 Forces We Must Master to Truly Transform Our Schools, Ron Ritchhart, author of Making Thinking Visible, explains how creating a culture of thinking is more important to learning than any particular curriculum, and he outlines how any school or teacher can accomplish this by leveraging eight cultural forces: expectations, language, time, modeling, opportunities, routines, interactions, and environment.

With the techniques and rich classroom vignettes throughout this audiobook, Ritchhart shows that creating a culture of thinking is not about just adhering to a particular set of practices or a general expectation that people should be involved in thinking. A culture of thinking produces the feelings, energy, and even joy that can propel learning forward and motivate us to do what at times can be hard and challenging mental work.

Do not do this to yourself. If you’re interested in the content, read the book — this horrible monotone narrator ruins any value it offers.

The worst narrator I’ve encountered on this app

Turned out it was really the way he was going to speak for the whole book. I just went ahead and got the paperback.

Just read the hard copy, the nasally and automatic reading is distracting. He sounds like a computer and lacks expression. I wish I had not wasted a credit on this.
