The i5 approach provides a way to develop critical and creative thinking skills in the context of content-focused and technology-powered lessons that give students the opportunity to: seek and acquire new information; use visual images and nonlinguistic representations to add meaning; interact with others to obtain and provide feedback and enhance understanding; engage in inquiry-use and develop a thinking skill that will expand and extend knowledge; and generate innovative insights and products related to the lesson goals. In this book, Jane E. Pollock and Susan Hensley explain the i5 approach\'s foundations in brain research and its links to proven instructional principles and planning models. They provide step-by-step procedures for teaching 12 key thinking skills and share lesson examples from teachers who have successfully "i5\'ed" their instruction.
