Your chance to tell someone they are doing something great!
At Insoll we have been looking at the key competency "Thinking". Over several staff meetings we have investigated different thinking strategies and scaffolds for developing 'thinking' in the classroom. Teachers then tried some of these in their classrooms. At two subsequent staffmeeting the outcomes/class activites were shared. Noteable was the variety of startegies used, the different contexts that they were used in, the deepth of thinking/understanding and dialogue from children (which surprised staff). Teacher enthusiasm grew over the 7 weeks we did this. A real positive experience.
