Make thinking visible
Follow a meaningful path from observation to reflection
Thought Paths helps educators guide learners through structured processes of observation, questioning, connection, interpretation, reflection and dialogue. Each path provides a clear purpose, carefully sequenced prompts and practical guidance for using it with learners.
The resource is inspired by thinking-routine approaches but offers an original collection of interactive paths created for flexible educational use. Educators can select a path directly or use the Path Finder to identify an appropriate activity for a particular learning goal, lesson stage, group or available amount of time.
