Online Courses: Starting Monday 13th February 2023
TSSA will be offering three courses in February/March 2023. These three courses will be metacognitive in nature, as they will be interactive and involve thoughtful practice, so participants are not just watching and reading, but applying and discussing what they have learned, and reflecting on this practice with other participants. Facilitators will be available to discuss work in progress and concerns as they arise. The Habits of Mind, Thinking Routines and Thinking Maps all build a common language of thinking as they apply across grades and subject disciplines.
