Level Up Health Education

In this episode, Jeff answers a question about visible thinking routines. He reviews what they are, why they're effective, and how to use them in your health education classroom.

Future episodes will follow a two-week-on, one-week-off format for now. The "off" week might include a shorter episode or a throwback reading of an older newsletter. Still, my focus on the "off" weeks will be sharing information with my email newsletter audience.

• Visible Thinking Routines: Project Zero. The place with ALL of the information about VTRs.
• Health Education & VTR: Chart and Examples. A list of example activities using visible thinking routines, with a chart pairing VTRs with skills from the National Health Education Standards.
