Suitability: This Webinar-on-Demand is most suitable for school leaders and classroom teachers across both primary and secondary phases.

Webinar description: How can we encourage learners to think beyond the obvious, independently of the teacher? How can we lay the foundations for a deeper and richer understanding of curriculum content? How can we provide learners with the tools to generate their own questions and motivate their learning themselves? This webinar provides some ideas and resources you can integrate into your classroom practice to scaffold learners’ thinking and help them develop their thinking skills.

• What do we mean by thinking?
• The importance of explicitly teaching ways to think
• Why it is particularly important for high potential learners to generate their own questions and how to support them in this
• Ideas for structuring thinking in the classroom with downloadable resources
• Information on other webinars
