ROUTINES

Thinking routines foster an environment which allows my students to experience a variety of responses to a question or topic. They help move my students away from the only-one-answer-is-right mentality. Using these routines in the classroom encourages my students to explore the thinking shared by their peers which often challenges their own thinking and understanding.
