About TeachThought

TeachThought is an independent education organization founded in 2012 to support critical thinking in the classroom. Innovation through the development of new models and frameworks and technology integration have also been central to this work.

We value research-informed ideas, classroom strategies, learning models, and instructional tools that help teachers in their daily practice.

TeachThought is based in the United States and collaborates with educators, universities, districts, and learning organizations nationally and internationally.

“TeachThought is one of the most substantive educational sites, consistently offering thought-provoking and practical ideas and resources for educators seeking to design more meaningful learning experiences.”
