The Thinking Pendulum: A Teacher's Guide

When a student uses AI, are they using it like a vending machine or a thinking partner? From the finished work alone, you can't really tell.

This free guide gives you a simple model for seeing the difference, the Thinking Pendulum, and practical steps you can try in a unit you're already planning.

Inside:

• The Thinking Pendulum, explained in one picture

• What a student's thinking looks like when it's mapped

• Planning and assessment steps that fit your existing units

• One rubric that plans and assesses

• A ready-to-paste prompt that adapts it all to your subject and students

For teachers and school leaders. Free to use with your own classes and to share with your department.
