About TeachThought

TeachThought is an independent education organization founded in 2012 to support critical thinking, innovation, and human-centered learning in K–20 education.

Our work focuses on helping educators rethink teaching and learning through models, frameworks, professional resources, and classroom tools designed to make learning more thoughtful, intentional, and enduring.

We publish research-informed ideas, classroom strategies, learning models, and instructional tools that help teachers improve student thinking, agency, and understanding. Our approach emphasizes clarity, curiosity, and practical transfer into classrooms.

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.”

What We Create

• Research-informed professional articles and frameworks
• Classroom tools and resources for teachers
• Learning models, taxonomies, and conceptual guides
• Teaching strategies grounded in critical thinking and transfer
• Digital materials, curriculum resources, and educator learning supports

Editorial Approach

We value writing that is clear, practical, and intellectually responsible. Our content emphasizes explanation, application, and thoughtful use—not filler, trend-selling, or artificially inflated language.

Our goal is to help educators understand complex ideas and translate them into meaningful practice.

Who Leads TeachThought

TeachThought is led by educator and learning theorist Terry Heick, who has spent more than two decades developing frameworks, writing, and working with teachers to deepen thinking in schools.
