I can see how the system of hats relates to the approach on how the learner will take to respond. If we allow them to choose the safest response first then our students will build the confidence to keep engaging with another type of hat .

The course states that this is for secondary as well as elementary, but most examples were geared toward elementary. I would like to see this course expanded to show secondary classroom examples.
Santos A. – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
This seems like it should be taught since elementary and reenforced during all grades for greatest efficacy. Even if it is not taught by lower levels it is worthwile to teach in any level though it may not be as effective due to time required to master the skill.
Kelly – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
