That Strengthen Practice and Drive Results
For Teachers & For Administrators
Benfits For Teachers:
A new Path to Stronger Teaching and Learning
As a teacher, you want tools that fit your classroom — and help your students grow. THINKING PRO offers a flexible curriculum unit built around research-based strategies you can use immediately and keep building on. It’s designed to enrich instruction, support student-centered learning, and strengthen your practice throughout the year.
[Discover our Professional Development pathways.]
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.
