Thinking
1. NIET Rubric
What is the NIET indicator Thinking?
PL Framework - Designing / Monitoring
2. Objective:
By the end of the module you should be able to:
● Define the NIET indicator: Thinking
● Upack the Indicator Designing / Monitoring from the PL
Framework
● Understand how rigor and collaboration impact student learning
3. On the NIET Rubric, find the
Indicator “Thinking”.
1. Let’s Unpack the Descriptors
Over the course of multiple observations, the
teacher consistently and thoroughly teaches two
types of thinking:
● analytical thinking where students analyze,
compare and contrast, and evaluate and
explain information.
● practical thinking where students use, apply,
and implement what they learn in real-life
scenarios. creative thinking where students
create, design, imagine and suppose.
● research-based thinking where students
explore and review a variety of ideas,
models, and solutions to problems.
The teacher sometimes provides opportunities
where students:
● generate a variety of ideas and alternatives.
● analyze problems from multiple perspectives
and viewpoints.
How does this indicator impact student
achievement? How is this indicator
interactive?
4. Ways to Teach Thinking
Modeling: Provides a take-off point from where students can construct more
personalized procedures for carrying out the skill.
Metacognitive Reflection: A process where students share and analyze with
others step-by-step approach implemented in solving a problem.
Thinking aloud-pair problem solving: Requires students to collaborate in the
process of determining and carrying out the steps for solving a problem.
5. Alignment
How does the designing indicator support student thinking? As students and
teachers monitor, are they able to impact their thinking? How?
How can you ensure that students are thinking?
Why is this process so important in learning?
