Visible thinking is a way of actively engaging students in the learning process. It involves students interpreting, thinking, and inventing ideas, allowing them to help each other learn while also developing their understanding, reasoning abilities, fairness, and creativity. When teachers employ visible thinking techniques like asking questions, brainstorming, debates, and puzzles, it helps capture students' attention and make the lessons more relevant to their lives. The use of routines is important for visible thinking, as frequent strategies become part of the classroom experience and support abilities, attitudes, and alertness, which enhances learning.

Entry 5
Visible Thinking is a research-based approach that integrates the development of students' thinking with learning academic content. It provides a framework for enriching classroom learning across subjects and fostering intellectual growth. The program aims to make thinking visible and concrete through various techniques, allowing students' reasoning and understanding to be assessed and improved as their thinking is shared with peers and teachers. When thinking is visible, learning is seen as exploring ideas rather than just memorizing facts.
Ken Wallin\'s Philosophy Of Teaching
The author outlines their philosophy of teaching which focuses on (1) treating learners with care and being available to provide assistance when needed, (2) recognizing that learners have expectations that must be reasonably met or managed, and (3) using the Socratic method of mentoring where the teacher guides learners to think through material and find answers themselves through questioning.
Teaching Principle
This document outlines principles for teaching. The key principles are "Be yourself" and "Attitude over skills". "Be yourself" means teaching with heart, soul, and caring for learners. It also means being true, honest, and peaceful so learners know who the teacher is. "Attitude over skills" means that dedication, passion and love for teaching are more important than delivery skills alone. Having the right attitude can widen perspectives and teach with respect. These principles will help guide teaching careers, choose right actions, connect with learners, and achieve goals.

Motivated pupils can also relate lesson content to their own lives and develop self-directed learning. Motivation is determined by a pupil's expectation of success in a task and the value they place on that task.
