    What is the purpose of


    education?

    has for its purpose not the imparting
    of particular knowledge but the
    strengthening of mental faculties
    (Kant)
    to cultivate the mind and develop character
    Robert Fisher

    Why teach for thinking?


    If thinking is how we make sense of
    experience then helping our children
    to become better thinkers will help
    them to get more out of learning
    and more out of life.

    Excellence is not an act, but a habit (Aristotle)
    A thinking skill is:
    a mental process learnt through practice
    how we apply intelligence to a problem
    our capacity to make judgements
    What is good thinking?

    teaching and learning by research through:
    questioning, problem posing
    studying multiple sources of information
    applying higher order thinking
    extending thinking through dialogue
    reviewing processes and outcomes
    How do we build research into the
    curriculum?
