Thinking Project Institute

Framework testing & pilots: in late winter through summer of 2024, we interviewed over 25 educators to learn whether they thought simple, adaptable classroom frameworks could help address the two most urgent problems identified in earlier interviews: strained relationships and limited perspective-taking. These frameworks were adapted from our earlier curriculum and redesigned as flexible tools teachers could use with students to examine thoughts and practice ibsr-congruent skills in real time. ------------------- more detail on schedule o -----------------

Framework development: in fy23, we began developing a new set of classroom frameworks adapted from our earlier comprehensive curriculum. These frameworks were designed to be flexible and reusable-something teachers could apply across a range of classroom settings, whether exploring academic content, historical thinking, social dynamics, or their students' own thought processes. They also allowed teachers to integrate social- emotional skills and reflection into academic learning in ways that furthered both. Each framework was shaped to encourage reflection and deeper engagement with moments involving conflict, interpretation, or complexity. ------------------- more detail on schedule o -----------------
