Making them think

I would like your ideas on how we can better make our students think critically on research assignments. What kind of projects have you done with your students that have forced higher level thinking that you would be willing to share?

Welcome to the PHS staff development blog

1. Department chair will invite department members to blog about reading strategies used in class.
2. Articles and information about teaching and student engagement will be posted here. Staff will be asked to react to what they read.
3. Teacher that go to conferences will be asked to post a blog here.
4. Teachers will be required to comment or post here at least once a month (to start with).
5. We want to keep the discussion collegial and geared towards improving instruction here a PHS.
6. It is my hope that this will bring about purposeful reflection and response about issues involved in improvement of instruction.
