Synopsis

Learning how to think is, surely, what education is all about. As teachers, we have the crucial task of helping our children understand how to think effectively, and showing them how they can best use their incredible, amazing brains. With quality approaches to the teaching of thinking skills, learning becomes a wonderful and thrilling experience for our students, one that can and should last a lifetime". This book has lots of different information, ideas and approaches for developing students' thinking skills. The author's aim is to give practical strategies for developing these skills, ones that can actually put directly into use in the classroom. As well as offering suggestions for exercises and activities, it also covers the organizational aspects of teaching thinking in a classroom setting. The aim is to give advice that will be applicable to teachers across the primary and secondary spectrum, and for those who are working in all different areas of the curriculum.
