THINKING SCHOOLS SOUTH AFRICA

What kind of thinkers are we helping our learners become?

​

Curious learners? Collaborative thinkers?

Young people who notice closely, ask meaningful questions, consider different perspectives and explain how their ideas are developing?

​

 

Thinking Routines can help make this possible.

More than a collection of classroom activities, Thinking Routines are simple, purposeful structures that nurture the habits of mind at the heart of inquiry. When used consistently, they create opportunities for learners to:

• observe carefully and wonder

• make their thinking visible

• listen to and build on the ideas of others

• explore different perspectives

• make connections and develop deeper understanding

• reflect on how their thinking has changed.

Join Camilla Antonie and Sarah Rogans to explore practical routines for every grade and subject, and consider how they can be woven meaningfully into everyday teaching, not as an add-on, but as an integral part of building an inquiry mindset. Sarah will also demonstrate how AI can support purposeful planning, with pedagogy and learning intentions firmly at the centre.
