Nothing like a Collegiate Book Discussion to appreciate how far we have come as a department. #thinkingframes #reflectivelens #CriticalThinking #SENlearning #specialistsetting @KatrinaCrilly @PaddyShevlin

With Amarin Hans and Westbrook Primary. Weaving #thinkingframes into a whole-school approach for relections on learning. #festivalofmetacognition

#ThinkingFrames and #ThinkingMoves frame and mobilize student-to-workforce thinking toward—and beyond—mission-critical #BestEffortThinking (BET). That mouthful and headful of thinkingness is full of potential. Smile it through. 😉 Overlook it at your own peril. 🚨 Mind-building teachers use mind-filling methods, mechanics, and mysteries of #metacognition to contextualize and energize their lessons in classrooms. Employers, therefore, are strongly encouraged to build upon the fine foundation-setting pedagogical work of the best teachers. Follow, “❤️,” repost, and repurpose for #AdultLearners guidelines you glean from @thinkschoolcom and @edutopia—two of @EnclaveAcademy’s handful of favorite mind-feeding online platforms generously illuminating school-to-workplace pedagogy for #LifelongLearners. Demonstrate your alertness to—and appreciation for—the high quality of “education in thinkableness” future employees are bringing with them to your doorstep. Support their readiness to be #CoThinkers and #CoGenerators of #GenerativeValue for your organization—and for the varied external constituencies your #CoWisdom serves. Ignite #CoGenerativeThinking gatherings of co-thinkers with transferable—and possibly transformative—principles and practices strategically deployed in “schools of thinking” that move minds beyond rote “schools of thought.” For many decades, #AI will continue to arrest our attention to automated and human WAYS of thinking. In this richly fertile cognition-about-cognition environment, build, nurture, and sustain a #PsychologicallySafe #CognitiveCulture within which early lessons learned from better-to-best teachers can be rekindled to generate/produce otherwise unattainable socioeconomic value. Learn new ways to build upon “thinking about thinking” skills—i.e., #metacognition—taught by wise teachers. Skillful #teachers master for themselves and teach metacognition. Organizational leaders, especially those in training and development positions, must methodically do likewise. When you convene meetings during which you expect/need assembled #cothinkers to #SelfThink—more than “default-drink” from your already-thought-through #thinking’s well, please be extra mindful of ways you are setting minds in gear to pivot between an among specific sets of thinking skills that you pre-predetermine as fundamental to your goals. Mixed metaphors used above are meant to cleverly illustrate unbridled cognitive concomitants in #FreedThinking’s metacognition. Select and teach specific and actionably codified: • Mindsets, • Types of thinking, and • Risky cognitive biases—for which to remain on high alert. It’s risky to leave unframed your metacognitive expectations of the minds you gather. So, don’t. 😉 Teachers, future employees, employers, and others all benefit from excellent #teaching that teaches minds—of all ages and stages—to momentarily pause to remember to #ThinkToThink™ about metacognition. Thoroughly #ThinkItThrough and #ThinkItSo—whatever “it” is that’s worth rethinking. Join me in genuinely thanking the world’s brilliant #teachers who are mastering and mobilizing metacognition. x.com/thinkschoolcom/status/…

A great afternoon considering ways in which #thinkingframes and #thinkingmoves can be used at a deeper, more creative and fluent level to develop #metacognitive capacities. Moving the student to become a meta-learner is one key goal of a #ThinkingSchool @Goodshepherdrc2

Developing a common language and a common set of tools and strategies provides strong pillars as you create a culture of whole school #metacognition. A great day with the #DriveTeam at Lubavitch Girls Junior School introducing #ThinkingFrames and #ThinkingMoves

Great to be able to discuss the power of #ThinkingFrames as a tool to support #SEND learners to organise, visualise and readily access their thinking at the IAPSDepHeads24 conference @iapsuk

Fantastic to see great examples of your student’s #ThinkingFrames and I love the happy brain #ThinkingSchool

Building schemas in our mind is a rich way to be able to create, develop and embed knowledge. A great opportunity for the staff at @stlukesoldst and @morelandprimary to review our knowledge of #ThinkingFrames & #ThinkingMoves to expand our student’s metacognitive capacities.

Embedding a common language of thinking and tools across the whole school is one of the key elements of a #ThinkingSchool. A great day with all the staff of @KingsSchoolRoch, considering the power of #ThinkingFrames to expand the thinking capacities of all students.

Covering ways to nurture student's ability to question and the use of #ThinkingFrames, encouraging students to recognise how they learn best and take ownership of their learning, thank you to the enthusiasm of all the staff @ShiplakeCollege for all of their ideas #ThinkingSchool

An inspiring day with The Cross School Drive Team today planning how to embed a culture of thinking amongst teacher and pupils ✨ Thank you @thinkingmatters1 👏🏼 #Enquiry #CultureofThinking #Collaboration #ThinkingRoutines #ThinkingFrames

With dual coding, learning tools use a combination of the visual and the verbal to manage cognitive load and build schema. A great afternoon with the staff St. Katherine’s Primary School - Canvey Island, examining #ThinkingFrames and #ThinkingMoves to clarify and evolve thinking.

Why use #ThinkingFrames and #ThinkingMoves? A fun afternoon with the staff at @StBernardsPrep considering the importance of a common visual and thinking language to develop whole school metacognition. #ThinkingSchool

What are the benefits of using Metacognitive Visual Tools? A great day at The Good Shepherd PS, even in the sweltering heat, discussing the power of common tools and language to support students and enable them to evolve their thinking. #ThinkingFrames

What a great way to use #ThinkingFrames. Sure you had a productive day 🙌🏼

Another great twilight at @eastlandsschool . Deepening their use of #ThinkingFrames and #ThinkingMoves. Great to see how they are using #ThinkingFrames to scaffold and model thinking, especially about how we each have a Fantastic Elastic Brain.

🔬 In Science, Year 6 students are exploring inherited characteristics through sequencing and categorising frames! 💡 #ScienceEducation #Year6 #Biology #InheritedCharacteristics #thinkingframes 🧬

The staff of @leighcentralps had some 'hard thinking' to do on their first day of the new term. Some great ideas were shared for deepening the use of #ThinkingFrames and #ThinkingMoves. #metacognition

Exploring metacognitive strategies with the wonderful staff @UrmstonPrimary. A very enjoyable day today ‘zooming in’ on the #thinkingframes and #thinkingmoves.

Thank you to @CumranPs, a TSN hub school, for a warm welcome from all their staff and students. Amazing to see so many #ThinkingFrames being deftly used across the school. It was great to hear the students talk about their independent use of #thinkingtools 🙌🏼
