Becoming an effective learner requires a child to understand how to organise their thinking [metacognition] and how to work through their ideas systematically [critical thinking].
We enable educators to get the best out of their pupils by developing tools and frameworks that get everyone thinking for themselves.
Our new network of forward-thinking educators is free to join and we invite you to be part of it.
This new approach to learning, rooted in cognitive science, will enable your pupils to engage with the curriculum and express themselves more effectively. I encourage you to think about how the concepts on this site could support the priority groups in your school. Adopting the framework and the block building toolkits could be a step in the right direction.
