Planning with ThinkUp!

No matter how your campus is implementing ThinkUp!, you can use our Lesson Plan Guides to help you plan effective lessons. We even offer a Lesson Planning graphic organizer to help you get started! 

Create Critical Thinkers

More than a dynamic, fun curriculum, ThinkUp! will transform your students from memorizers to problem-solvers, creators, and critical thinkers. ThinkUp! Standards Mastery System is designed to create a school-wide thinking culture and deepen student engagement with standards-aligned content and the 9 Traits of Critical Thinking.

Check out our article 4 Ways to Integrate Critical Thinking into Every Lesson for ideas on how you can create a thinking-centered classroom. Every month we provide a Critical Thinking Activity of the Month that offers teachers a new lesson using a timely topic to encourage critical thinking with their students.

Additional Resources

We offer a collection of free resources to help in your implementation of ThinkUp! right here on the Support Portal. Literature Lists to quickly gather books, Graphic Organizers to help students complete instructional activities, and more! 

Optional Features

Pre-Assessments

ThinkUp! includes pre-assessments for every unit so teachers can see what students know before diving into a unit—and plan accordingly. Pre-assessments can now be accessed right here on our support site. Click here to download.
