The role of the teacher illustrates or verbalizes what good thinking looks like. We teach by showing how we understand what we read through modeling our thinking, questioning, inferring, and synthesizing (Keene, Zimmerman, 2003).
In order for teachers to assess students' thinking, we have to teach them how to think and what language they should use to help them with their thinking. Here are two charts that I have in my room to get kids thinking.
