thinking for learning is a learning organisation committed to building
a better understanding of learning processses so that we can be effective agents
for change in the transformation of education's structures and systems.

With our colleagues at Newcastle University we operate as a learning community,
collaboratively exploring possibilities for transforming our selves, our organisation
and our schools.

thinking for learning is an approach that develops
more effective thinking and learning and innovative models for systemic change.

Our strategies include:

• Promoting understanding of leadership, the curriculum and the learning process

• Modelling pedagogical strategies in the classroom/workplace

• Creating and developing activities and resources which encourage thinking
   about thinking (metacognition)

• Helping educators to develop their own identities, activities and resources

• Creating a suite of inter-related courses that lead professional learning

• Supporting small-scale action research

• Facilitating learning networks and partnerships

• Using Narrative Enquiry methods to engage stakeholders at every level in leading
   change
