## In authors' words

### What they set out to do (purpose)

The official site for RE:THINKING, the PhotoSynthesis Productions documentary directed by Deborah C. Hoard, which follows four school districts over three years as they try to teach thinking itself.

### What they found (results)

The film argues schools should teach students how to think rather than what to think, drawing on the research of Derek and Laura Cabrera; the site quotes Laura Cabrera saying that when children understand how they come to know things, knowing anything becomes possible.
