Synopsis

"If schools are looking for a panacea to exam accomplishment, successful self-regulation skills could be the solution they are looking for."

Thinking about Thinking aims to expose some of the most powerful effects that they can have in your classroom, school and your students’ lives.The ideas, suggestions and activities contained in this book will help active practitioners in the classroom, Senior Leaders in their curriculum design and pedagogy, and ultimately, the students in their care. Metacognition is not a quick fix solution, but this book cuts through the reams available on this dense subject with considered care and levity.
