%0 Journal Article %T Developing a Classroom Culture of Thinking %A Mia O'Brien %J Analytic Teaching and Philosophical Praxis %D 2002 %I %X This publication begins with a dedication to those teachers who share my belief that the teaching of thinking is an empowering process that will see students of today become critical, creative, and caring adults of tomorrow . In doing so, the author¡¯s intent to provide a very practical and usable resource for teachers is clear from the outset. Pohl¡¯s book provides models and templates aimed at fostering a classroom culture of thinking that many teachers would find immediately usable.However, the value of any pragmatically-oriented publication lies within the educational advantages such models and strategies will enable. While this book presents clear, accessible and easily understood strategies for diversifying the classroom repertoire, its claim to enabling a classroom culture of thinking must be carefully considered. %U http://www.viterbo.edu/analytic/Vol%2021%20no.%202/developing%20a%20classroom%20culture.pdf
