Description
Part of the hit 'Getting...' series: the ultimate practical guide to help improve student thinking skills
Teaching thinking in general, rather than merely teaching thinking within curricular subject areas, is an area of increasing focus for teachers. Learning by rote will only take students so far: success in and out of the classroom demands the ability to think creatively, critically and comprehensively.
But how can you teach that crucial skill? This unique guide from popular education expert Sue Cowley provides an entertaining and accessible introduction to teaching thinking for teachers of all levels, covering key areas such as problem solving, developing creativity and lateral thinking. Heavy on activity and practical lesson planning, this book is an indispensable resource for teachers at all levels.

"This excellent book contains information, ideas and approaches to help develop your learners' thinking skills...Children were encouraged to be as creative as possible and 'think outside of the box'." Reviewed by Julie Beach in Learning and Teaching Update, Issue B, April 2008

"Getting the Buggers to Think is a resolutely practical guide. It is precisely sequenced, heavy with activities and light on theory - just the way most teachers need such a book to be... A solid addition to her series and is sure to find its spine well creased"
