21st Century Skill
HOTS – Higher Order Thinking – Structuring the classroom environment so that students feel comfortable using HOTS to explore topics is imperative. It does not have to take a lot of planning, it can be something that is developed through higher level questioning and discussion skills that can happen during those “teachable” moments. Because they are using HOTS, their understanding of topics and the curriculum is broader and deeper, which results in increased academic achievement.
