We are now working in collaboration with Thinking Matters Ltd
thinkingmatters.com Ged has been fully trained as a Thinking Matters consultant
and we now have 11 Merseyside Primary schools who have begun the Thinking
Matters approach. The focus is on developing the independent metacognitive
learners of the future. Over two years all members of the school community
benefit from 5 full days of training, using high quality materials based around
the latest research. Through a common language of learning the school develops a
core pedagogy founded on the cognitive sciences emphasising how we learn, the
importance of the emotions and learning, motivation, attitudes to self and
school,building a positive mindset, improving teacher questioning and feedback,
tackling disadvantage and underperformance, developing memory, extending
vocabulary. The focus is on "future proofing" our children to meet the
challenges of global exponential change - the rapid growth of technology and AI
- building analytical,critical thinking and creative skills. Tom Wagner of
Harvard's Change Leadership Group says --"In order to motivate and teach this
generation, the school system must be reinvented to be accountable for what
matters most. That means to do the work – teaching, learning, and assessing – in
new ways."
