Differentiating Instruction with Six Thinking Hats®

This popular workshop digs deeper into the Six Thinking Hats® to help educators become adept at using questions to stimulate and motivate students across the learning continuum—from those that struggle to those that are advanced. Teachers are responsible for ensuring all students in a class are successful—they need to be flexible to meet the needs of each individual student.

The objective of this workshop is to learn how to integrate Six Thinking Hats® into your classroom to support learner success for all. When connected to the student's readiness levels, interests, and learning profile, the Six Hats becomes a powerful differentiation tool for teachers to apply.

Teachers will learn to use Six Thinking Hats® to vary the questions they ask, and students will become more independent as they create their own questions. Six Thinking Hats® may be used when working alone, in pairs, small groups and as a whole class. The tool may also be used when developing differentiated instructional strategies such as interest and learning centers, reading buddy centers, and independent studies.
