Two Great Classroom Posters on The Six Thinking Hats. July 17, 2014The Six Thinking Hats is a book written by Edward de Bono in which he lays out a practical method that expands on the very simple concept of thinking.

Project-based Learning: What It Is, and How It Benefits Students. As a foreign language teacher, I need to assess my students in a variety of ways on a regular basis.
As we all know, not every person learns the same way or has the same interests. In terms of assessment, some students can learn the material really well, but when a traditional test is given, their information and knowledge somehow disappears. When this first happened in my classes, I began looking more at ways to assess my students–but to provide assessments which led to more authentic and personalized work.
I wanted to provide an equal opportunity for students to achieve success in showing what they know (and can do) with the information that they have learned.
