This user-friendly book outlines fourteen core thinking skills that increase students' cognitive capacity, including organization, comparison, categorization, and problem solving.

Each chapter features: - An introduction to and description of a specific skill - Examples and applications for formal and informal learning contexts - An outline of how the skill aligns with Feuerstein's theories of Mediated Learning and Cognitive Modifiability Expanded to include an overview of many IE-related research studies and quotes to stimulate reflection on each skill, this second edition of Bridging Learning is a dynamic resource for creative educators dedicated to enhancing thinking skills in all learners.
