Mobile Critical Thinking Tools
Critical Thinking Tools are the core, and grounding, of what supports and develops authentic student engagement. Student engagement is what keeps us as educators motivated in classrooms and our learning communities. This should be an environment for all students, in all schools, and in all places. Equity consciousness is grounded in belief and belonging.

Growing Thinking Schools Inside Out
Co-Author with David Hyerle
Growing Thinking Schools is a guide, much like a travel guide that you have closely looked through before visiting a new place, or visiting a website with information about different pathways for investigating a new concept. This guidebook is only used with support of a certified Thinking Schools International trainer who will guide you and your colleagues through a process of: • envisioning what a “Thinking School” might look like in your culture and environment; • considering the different possible approaches you may take; and • beginning the planning stage for the short and long term process of explicitly and systematically integrating “thinking” processes into the existing “learning” processes within your school. This guide does not provide an answer, but offers starting points for the journey toward becoming a “Thinking School” of the 21st century.

Pathways to Thinking Schools Chapter
Co-Author with Bereket Aweke
Editors:  David Hyerle and Larry Alper

This last chapter of the book may be read as a challenge to our ideals of Thinking Schools against the hard realities of life for children in a proud country with a rich heritage that is now one of the most impoverished places on Earth. Robert Price, a global trainer and a co-author of Growing Thinking Schools from the Inside Out (Thinking Schools International, 2011), and his colleague Bereket Aweke, a former teacher and principal in Ethiopia, have a story that they are growing together from grassroots to whole thinking schools. The story is unfolding at this writing, because the superintendent for the Addis Public School recently gave his full commitment to growing thinking in all 300 schools in the city. 

The vision of Thinking Schools is that of a different order of change and global networking: not the first-order change of tinkering with the system, or the second-order change through which new models for teaching and learning are dropped into a system.

Black Minds Matter
Co-Author with Eric Cooper

…Young people need the tools and skills to connect past, present and future. They need educational approaches that teach them to understand and respect different perspectives — and to harvest those perspectives for mutual benefit, in a way that allows them to solve problems collaboratively, whether they are battling City Hall or consulting as an adult with a multi-national business halfway around the world.

Without this level of awareness and engagement, it is Blacks, people of color and those struggling with poverty who are endangered…
