Infusing the Teaching of Critical and Creative Thinking into Content Instruction: A Lesson Design Handbook for the Elementary Grades

From the Publisher:

The infusion framework builds upon what many teachers already do in their classroom to enhance thinking. What is different is the way that these and other techniques are combined to complement each other to produce a complete and effective framework for lesson design and instruction. Any teacher at any grade level can create infusion lessons to enhance his or her instruction using this framework.
