Using Visible Thinking Routines in Health Education

In this episode, Jeff answers a question about visible thinking routines. He reviews what they are, why they're effective, and how to use them in your health education classroom.

Future episodes will follow a two-week-on, one-week-off format for now. The "off" week might include a shorter episode or a throwback reading of an older newsletter. Still, my focus on the "off" weeks will be sharing information with my email newsletter audience.
