Making Thinking Visible: Transforming Classroom Engagement

In this episode, Eric Mazur sits down with Ron Ritchhart, a celebrated educator and researcher, to unpack the transformative idea of cultures of thinking in education—environments where thinking is prioritized, visible, and actively encouraged. Together, they discuss the challenges educators encounter in building these cultures, the influence of AI on teaching, and effective strategies for making student thinking more visible. Ritchhart highlights the role of collective learning, the essential mindsets for fostering a thinking culture, and practical steps educators can take to elevate their teaching practices. Tune in for an insightful conversation filled with actionable ideas and inspiration for your classroom!
