Building a classroom culture of thought

Alice Vigors’s guide connects foundational theory with practical strategies for bringing critical and creative thinking into teaching. Across five parts, it considers how educators can foster classrooms that welcome questions, make room for multiple perspectives, and support deeper understanding. The book also addresses the educator’s role in building capacity through small, consistent changes, with tools intended for use in classrooms or teaching teams. Its emphasis on both student thinking and the practices that nurture it makes the book a resource focused on putting these skills into everyday educational settings.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teachers seeking practical approaches to encourage critical and creative thinking in class

Book overview

Developing the critical and creative thinking skills of students in our classrooms is a necessary culture that all teachers should foster. Not only does it underpin the syllabus outcomes and content indicators, but the ability to think critically and creatively, and to articulate that thinking to others, is a hugely valuable skill in today's world.

 

Supporting students to be critical and creative thinkers requires us as educators to be willing to build our capacity, to make small consistent shifts towards embedding practices and fostering a 'thinking' environment that welcomes questions, that celebrates multiple perspectives and is comfortable working in a space that requires depth of understanding.

 

This book was written with the teacher and leader in mind and is a mix of foundational theory and practical strategies with tools you can take away and apply in your classroom or with your teams tomorrow. It is divided into five parts, with each component delving into key areas of embedding critical and creative thinking into practice.
