Learning to Think, Thinking to Learn

Learning to Think, Thinking to Learn is part of the Worldwide Cultures of Thinking Project and aims to develop the ability of students at Mandela International Magnet School in Santa Fe, New Mexico as thinkers and learners. To accomplish this, the project draws on the extensive research of Project Zero related to thinking, learning, and teaching for understanding. This includes promoting thinking through the use of “thinking routines” and by helping teachers to establish a classroom culture that supports thinking.  The project provides a unique forum for the further development and refinement of these approaches by combining them at a new school and tracking students development over time.
