Noticing Where Thinking Lives
Sometimes student thinking is loud: ideas collide, opinions clash, reasoning unfolds out loud.
Other times, it’s almost invisible, happening slowly, unevenly, or only for a few learners at once.
And sometimes what looks like engagement is really careful following.
These distinctions are easy to miss in the flow of teaching.
What, in your experience, seems to open space for students to think — and what, looking back, might quietly close that space without meaning to?
You could:
describe a recent lesson,
name something that surprised you, or
reflect on how your subject, age group, or context shapes what’s possible.
There’s no need to resolve anything here.
