Getting Ready for & Moving Forward with Thinking Series
Go the extra mile and maximise pupils' learning potential across the curriculum. This series is all about building on and scaffolding thinking so that students can actively participate in, understand, value and act on their learning, rather than just “do” school. It covers preparation and implementation and provides templates, samples and clearly explained practices.
Getting Ready for Thinking focuses on how a thinking environment looks, sounds and feels – and the practical steps involved in creating it. Moving Forward with Thinking supplies a range of tools to support students in developing their thinking to maximise learning opportunities across the curriculum.
Each book in this series:
- offers opportunities for developing and practising clear, logical, creative, critical and reflective thinking
- is of direct relevance to learning across the curriculum
- supports the “thinking teacher” as well as the “thinking student”
- contains a plethora of ideas that can be readily adapted for specific classroom needs.
Ages: 5-12 years
