HIGHER LEVEL THINKING 

   Higher Level Thinking or Cognitive Rigor
   Today, students are learning and practicing to Think Beyond the explicit and obvious.
   Our instructional models emphasize this cognitive shift.  From explicit questioning to
   implicit reasoning the depth in which students' need to be able to demonstrate
   understanding has changed.

​   The resources on this page were created to support that change and to assist our
   students to be able to Think Beyond!
