  2. Students' attention is focused on big subject matter issues, important ideas in the world, and in meaningful connections within the discipline and beyond. 
  3. Opportunities are provided for students to direct their own thinking and become independent learners. 
  4. Time is spent to select content and stimuli for class consideration in order to provoke thinking. 
  5. The teacher provides opportunities to reflect on how one's thinking about a topic has changed and developed over time.
