Want students to lead more of the discussion, but find the same voices dominating while others stay silent—or the conversation quickly goes off track?
In this episode of The Student-Centered Shift, I share a simple strategy I recently saw in action at ISKL in Malaysia: Six Thinking Hats. By giving students different lenses for questioning, challenging ideas, exploring possibilities, and using evidence, we can create the structure they need to take greater ownership of the conversation—and build genuine student agency.
We explore:
How Six Thinking Hats can turn student-led discussions into deeper, more balanced conversations
How to use the strategy for project-based learning, ideation, peer feedback, problem-solving, and reflection
Why giving students different thinking roles can move them beyond simply sharing opinions
How simple protocols can help you step back as the facilitator while students take greater ownership of their learning
If you're looking for a simple way to build student agency and create more active, student-centered learning, grab six colors and give this strategy a try.
