Overview: What is thinking? Thinking refers to the process of creating a structured series of connective transactions between items of perceived information. Thinking skills are one of the most important areas of the curriculum. Helping students develop and improve their thinking skills is an essential and challenging task for all educators. However, it is often the case that what works for one student may not work at all for another student or in a different situation. The variables within the classroom can be overwhelming. In order to meet the diverse learning needs and styles in our teaching and learning environment we may need to change the way we think or the way we teach. An effective learning environment is one that offers a differentiated learning programme, a programme of learning that offers:     A range of content entry points (what the learning objective is for the individual)) A range of processes (how they will learn it) A range of products (how they show their understanding) A range of learning environments (visual, tactile etc.) This resource package introduces a range of thinking skills templates to assist the teacher in providing a learning environment where the different learning styles of the students are being met.

Teachers may choose to use one or several of the templates during a lesson or topic.
