"At last, a well-organized array of practical strategies to promote higher-level thinking every day, every time, by every teacher ready for the challenge of deeper 21st century learning!"

"Educators are always seeking quality engagement and thinking approaches to prepare students for a complex world that needs them to go far beyond passively receiving information and filling in bubble sheets. In one handy resource, Rebecca Stobaugh provides oodles of practical, engaging instructional strategies that any teacher will appreciate. What a useful resource!"
Tammy Heflebower, author, A Teacher's Guide to Standards-Based Learning
"Whether you need a creative idea to get out of a lesson-planning rut or you're thinking through ways to differentiate, Rebecca Stobaugh's book offers teachers concrete strategies to engage students in the real work of thinking."
Sydney Chaffee, 2017 National Teacher of the Year, Codman Academy Charter Public School, Massachusetts
"We have been talking about thinking, thinking about thinking, and playing with thinking for decades. Finally, Rebecca Stobaugh does for teachers what we all want for our students. She walks carefully through doable strategies, while gradually increasing the levels of cognitive engagement and creative thinking that teachers can use to enhance a traditional classroom or engage in transitioning toward a more personalized, competency-based environment. She pairs strategies with Bloom's taxonomy revised in such a way that acts as both a helpful primer and a gentle reminder of just what we should expect from students at each level."
