For Teachers:
A new Path to Stronger Teaching and Learning
THINKING PRO is a curriculum unit designed to enrich classroom instruction and support student-centered practice. It introduces teachers to practical, research-based strategies they can start using right away—and keep building on to strengthen learning across the year.
[More: Professional Development]
Modeling Cognitive Skills
Teachers introduce essential strategies in reading, writing, and reasoning through interactive, self-paced videos that model expert thinking. These approaches strengthen disciplinary literacy, build transferable habits, and help students reach mastery through supported, repeated practice.
Moderating Discourse
THINKING PRO helps teachers establish a classroom culture where students engage in thoughtful dialogue, evaluate information critically, and practice media mindfulness through respectful, text-based discussion.
Mentoring Projects
Teachers support students through guided inquiry into local, real-world issues. Students craft evidence-based arguments and express their message using creative formats—such as infographics, campaign messages, or public letters—designed to raise awareness and promote civic action.
Implementing Gradual Release of Responsibility
The unit follows a structured path from modeling to shared practice to independence. Students take ownership of their learning through scaffolded activities in reading, writing, project work, and collaborative problem solving.
Cultivating a Growth Mindset and Student Engagement
THINKING PRO encourages students to take academic risks, stay engaged through challenges, and reflect on feedback. With real-world content and built-in positive reinforcement, it fosters resilience, motivation, and meaningful participation.
Flexible, Classroom-Ready Format
THINKING PRO is delivered digitally, with every element designed to support in-person teaching. Teachers can project lessons, print student materials, and integrate content into their classroom routines—enhancing access, engagement, and instructional flow.
One-to-One Instructional Coaching
Every implementation includes personalized coaching from expert instructional coaches, along with CEUs and THINKING PRO Teacher Certification, to support confident, high-impact teaching throughout the year.
