About the book Movements of Thought
Thinking Movements provides a practical approach to integrating metacognition into everyday learning and making it an integral part of its content. By using simple, everyday language to apply the 26 key thinking movements, from thinking forward to focusing and scanning, Thinking Movements are easy for students to use and provide an approach and tools that teachers can incorporate into their curricula.

This critical-age micro-curriculum deserves a prominent role in any school or educational system if its correct practices are understood. Outdated practices and aspirations are no longer compatible with the intended purpose of education and do not contribute to preparing our children to grow and thrive—or perhaps even survive—in a world that demands we act as our best human selves and that requires us to act rationally, critically, and wisely. Perhaps recommending that this book be treated seriously is self-evident, but it deserves it.
