@audrarowell94 Ch7Q4 Goal setting helps students prepare and plan which steps they should take in their learning with the end in mind. Knowing where they are headed helps to motivate them and become more invested in their learning. #sscbookstudy

@audrarowell94 Ch7Q1 Effective feedback helps students analyze their work to decide if they’ve succeeded, if they need to improve, and how they need to improve. It encourages metacognition which reinforces their learning. #sscbookstudy

[Melissa Ramirez @MrsRamirez_TMS]

@audrarowell94 Ch6Q4 Creative problem solving, or any type of problem solving, cannot be achieved successfully without metacognition. It requires one to think about their thinking. #sscbookstudy

[Melissa Ramirez @MrsRamirez_TMS]

@audrarowell94 Ch6Q3 Absolutely! Teaching creative problem solving skills in all contents helps students learn to apply these skills to different life situations/content. These skills help reinforce the TEKS. #sscbookstudy

@BNHSgolf Happy Birthday, Gage!!!

@audrarowell94 Ch5Q3 Innovation needs to be differentiated at all ages just as we would differentiate our daily instruction. We would model and scaffold just like we would with older students. Innovation is 100% possible at all ages. #sscbookstudy

[Melissa Ramirez @MrsRamirez_TMS]

@audrarowell94 Ch5Q1 Innovation can help students gain a deeper understanding of the content as students are able to apply several thinking processes to their learning. As a result, the content is reinforced. #sscbookstudy

[Melissa Ramirez @MrsRamirez_TMS]

@audrarowell94 Ch4Q2 It’s a life long skill. It is used in every grade in school and all subjects; to solve real world math problems, to draw conclusions in reading, to hypothesize in science...once they understand it’s a life skill, it becomes easier for them to use. #sscbookstudy

[Melissa Ramirez @MrsRamirez_TMS]

@audrarowell94 Ch4Q1 Imagination is absolutely critical to creative thinking. I feel that they go hand in hand. Students use their schema to help stretch their thinking like when they use a KWW chart.

[Melissa Ramirez @MrsRamirez_TMS]

@audrarowell94 Ch3Q2 Not a waste of time. Asking students to use creative thinking skills still requires them to think critically.

[Melissa Ramirez @MrsRamirez_TMS]

@audrarowell94 Ch3Q1 Creative thinking lessons are definitely harder, but can be used with all levels of students. Their struggle to be creative helps them to activate their metacognition. This skill alone pushes them to a deeper level of thinking. #sscbookstudy

[Melissa Ramirez @MrsRamirez_TMS]

@audrarowell94 Ch2Q1 The only way creativity grows is of we nurture it by modeling and creating a safe environment that allows students to share and their ideas to grow.

[Melissa Ramirez @MrsRamirez_TMS]

@audrarowell94 Ch2Q2 By utilizing creative strategies and techniques, we can help our students learn to use a variety of creative skills resulting in a more fluid movement through the different levels of thinking.

[Melissa Ramirez @MrsRamirez_TMS]

@audrarowell94 A creative classroom will be loud, sometimes quiet, and often full of “aha” moments. Students will respect each other’s ideas, make mistakes, learn from those mistakes, and gain confidence in sharing their ideas.

[Melissa Ramirez @MrsRamirez_TMS]

@audrarowell94 Creativity is about the approach students use in their thinking and the conversations they have about it. It is about how they express their thinking and the variety of ways they choose to express these ideas. #sscbookstudy
