Biography
Harvard Graduate School of Education
Mark Church works with educators throughout the world striving to create cultures of thinking in their classrooms and schools.
Mark challenges teachers to foster thinking dispositions in students in the service of deep understanding. He invites teachers to promote a discourse of thinking in their classrooms that communicates value for student sense-making. Mark encourages teachers to make their classroom environments rich with the documents of student thinking processes.
Mark is currently a consultant with Harvard Project Zero’s "Making Thinking Visible" and "Cultures of Thinking" initiatives worldwide, drawing upon his own classroom teaching experience and from the perspectives he has gained working with educators throughout North America, Australia, Asia, and Europe. Mark enjoys helping teachers examine opportunities for student thoughtfulness, use thinking routines as supports and scaffolds, interact with students in ways that demonstrate an interest in and respect for students’ thinking, and send clear expectations about the importance and value of thinking in learning.
Together with Ron Ritchhart and Karin Morrison, Mark is co-author of the book Making Thinking Visible: How to Promote Engagement, Understanding, and Independence for All Learners (Jossey-Bass, 2011) and co-author with Ron Ritchhart of The Power of Making Thinking Visible: Practices to Engage and Empower All Learners (John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 2020).
