Developing critical and creative thinking skills in students is essential for our classrooms. This valuable skill underpins syllabus outcomes and content indicators, and its application is highly relevant in today's world. By embedding practices that foster a 'thinking' environment, we can support students to be critical and creative thinkers. This book provides a mix of foundational theory and practical strategies for educators to build their capacity and make small consistent shifts towards creating an environment that welcomes questions, celebrates multiple perspectives, and encourages depth of understanding. It is divided into five parts, each delving into key areas of embedding critical and creative thinking into practice. With its focus on supporting teachers and leaders, this book offers a valuable resource for those looking to enhance their teaching practices and create a more effective learning environment.
