Description

Developing the ability to think is a major part of education, helping students become independent learners and participate fully in a learning environment. This book sets out the theory and outlines a model for implementing the teaching of thinking at whole-school, group and individual levels in inclusive settings. The model uses a three-tier approach to ensure that all learners are included, taking into account common needs, exceptional needs such as learning difficulties or high ability, and individualised learning needs. The book covers key approaches to the teaching of thinking, providing examples of how each can be used at each tier level, as well as addressing the impact of different social contexts, cultures and environmental surroundings on learning. This book will be valuable reading for all members of school communities, including education leaders and teachers, as well as educational psychologists, special educational needs co-ordinators, speech and language therapists, and those interested in educating children who are vulnerable or from disadvantaged backgrounds.
