Abstract	Designed to reach a varied audience, this catalog provides concise summaries of some of the major commercial programs that teach thinking, and furnishes descriptions in terms of major goal, target audience, assumptions, process/materials, time, and developer. The first section offers programs primarily intended for teachers, including the California Writing Project, cognitive levels matching, critical thinking, and tactics for thinking. The next section supplies summaries of available materials for students at various levels, including building thinking skills, future problem solving, Great Books, philosophy for children, and strategic reasoning. The final section furnishes material for specific age groups--elementary, middle school, and secondary students. Programs for elementary age groups include higher-thinking skills, reading and thinking strategies, and vocabulary learning strategies. Two middle school programs are summarized--Odyssey, and Thinking Posters. The secondary program summaries include creative problem solving, critical analysis and thinking skills, and problem solving and comprehension. Publisher and/or developer addresses are given for each program, as well as a cost estimate for the materials mentioned. (MM)
