Thought

How do the Five Disciplines of Thought fit into the social studies curriculum. As I study the book "Teaching What Matters Most" - I can see why this would be a valuable book for the Social Studies Curriculum Committee and the year two and three teachers to study. I'm wondering if we could use the rubrics to evaluate the curriculum and rubrics for use in the classroom - I'm not sure but it is certainly something to consider. I think it is important to mesh all of the ideas of the district into a common understanding - the Six Facets of Understanding are part of Wiggin's work and it is important for us to understand how they connect to the work we are already doing (DOK, Process Standards, etc.). The more we know the better we will be able to make connections and have the teachers make the connections - hopefully it won't feel like one more thing....THOUGHT certainly something to think about : )
