thinkalong toolkits
thinkalong toolkits provide ready-to-use, 5- to 10-minute routines that engage students in course content while building critical thinking skills. They’re easy to implement and follow a simple, consistent structure so they’re perfect for daily warm-ups to preview or review content.
What makes them different? Instead of using a new problem or passage each day, these warm-ups use the same one over several days to give students time to explore a concept from multiple angles. They learn how to approach any new learning with a repeatable process to get started, identify what they already know, work it out, transfer their learning to new scenarios, and write about it.
thinkalong toolkits are easily integrated into any curriculum! Whether students need support with complex problem-solving, high-impact concepts, or critical thinking skills, thinkalong toolkits provide creative strategies for:
- looping back on important content
- assessing where in the learning process students need support
- deepening learning and promoting transfer
- developing skills for answering short or extended constructed responses
The results? Teachers get meaningful, easy-to-use instructional resources and students gain greater confidence, stronger skills in priority concepts, increased agency, and improved academic success!
