Thinking+Models

With the Language of Thinking and Learning being the focus of Learn2Inquire the first step is to increase familiarity of all staff across the cluster with some of the Models of Cognitive Action that have been developed. Each school has some understanding and working knowledge of one or more models; the aim is to give the Literacy team time to become familiar with the dominant models and take back to their school ideas and strategies for increasing whole staff understanding. Each school will choose which models suit their aims best and so concentrate on integrating these into their teaching and learning.

A number of resources suitable for using with staff and students have been accessed. Links to online resources, and to contributed resources are available below. Just click on the model which you wish to explore.
