  12. Implications for teaching • Students need to be required to think about thinking (Metacognition) (Mihaila-Lica, 2012) • Shift instruction from what to think (teacher led) to how to think (student led) (Behar-Horenstein & Niu, 2011) • Project-based learning (Moylan, 2008) • Authentic situations (Li, 2010)

  13. What does this look like? • Health Education • Socratic Seminar • Physical Education • Applying critical thinking skills in movement

  14. Think-Pair-Share • With an elbow partner talk about how you can transform a current teaching practice into a higher level of thinking for students.

  15. Scenarios • In health education class, Ms. Core has the kids in a regular routine. They come in, complete a warm-up question, she provides the introduction on disease prevention and control, then they complete the questions at the end of the lesson chapter of the textbook. • In physical education class, Mr. Common has the kids come out and sit in their usual squad lines, takes attendance, and leads the warm-up. Then he leads them into their games. He ends the lesson by dismissing them to the locker room with a whistle.

  16. The end result… • Business leaders, politicians, and educators agree that students need 21st century skills like critical thinking to be successful in college and career (Rotherham &Willingham, 2009). • What are you going to do to get students there?
