Newsletter #18: See, Wonder, Connect x 2

February 13, 2025
The goal of this routine “is to help students appreciate how looking at something can expand one’s understanding of it, which in turn can provide a basis for making connections to other things. The routine encourages students to explore the interconnectedness of knowledge, and to understand that if they intentionally look for connections, they can find them”.

Newsletter #15: De-MYST-ify Thinking Routines

January 13, 2025
Project Zero’s thinking routines should be integrated into every activity, not merely used to move a lesson forward. Teachers are encouraged to plan for thinking by providing time, space, and opportunities for students to reflect and make connections within the lessons. MYST (Me, You, Space, Time) is a tool or routine for teachers to ensure that thinking is regularly modeled, discussed, shared, and challenged so that children are immersed in thinking, and it is no longer invisible and mysterious.
