![]() In my curriculum and theory class Brittney Malsonka introduced the Six Thinking Hats by Edward De Bono. In this approach to classroom management and as a system of delivery for instruction, each colored hat stands for a way of thinking.
In these categories the approach or perspective relates to how that person may tackle a social interaction, how to complete a project, how to respond to a test, etc. There are no rights or wrongs it just helps to identify the strengths of that individual. It also can be used as a method to teach how to look at the problem, solution, or situation with a different perspective. With the six hats included in a plan for teaching I can see its use very effective, however with this approach it needs to be used throughout the classroom and curriculum to be effective. It was helpful to know that it could be broken down into parts and implemented by teaching red hat thoughts for a unit, moving onto white hat thoughts while reviewing the red hat thoughts with building on prior knowledge and scaffolding. Personally I feel it would be effective in training my thoughts to solutions, problems, or situations to expand my perspectives. ![]()
