As the 2013-14 school year draws to a close, the Reuther staff used the MYST thinking routine to reflect upon their classrooms and ways that thinking was made visible.

In addition, staff completed the "Development of a Culture of Thinking in My Classroom: Self-Assessment" developed by S. Brooks and Ron Ritchhart. This self-assessment will be used as a springboard in Fall 2014 to begin the year with a focus on the 8 Cultural Forces.

There are also plans for a new book study next school year. The book will be Intellectual Character: What It Is, Why It Matters, and How To Get It by Ron Ritchhart.
