  1. SCS Thinking 2011 – Using Blooms Acknowledgements to Lyn Ross for ideas and resources included in this presentation.

  2. Goals and Outcomes • To develop and implement a school wide “Thinking Toolbox” throughout this year. • Explore strategies and tools to develop creative and critical thinking • To gain and understanding of Blooms Taxonomy as an effective strategy to be used throughout the school • To offer some practical classroom ideas that can be used T Greer 2011

  3. Thinking… • The Key Competencies – T, R, U, M, P. • We have defined these and what they mean in our school. Refer to our SCS Curriculum document – read THINKING “Intellectual curiosity is at the heart of this competency” (NZC p12) • How do we promote what we have identified here in a normal day within the classroom? • Time to delve into these ideas more … T Greer 2011

  4. As Educators we must… • Understand what thinking is • Know about strategies and tools which develop thinking skills • Teach these strategies and tools to our students • Use them often in teaching and learning T Greer 2011

  6. What do your students need to memorise? Discuss… • Knowledge is now a processnot a thingKnowing how to do something is more valuable than memorising information • 21st Century life is about learning new skills, not new content. • Success depends on learning new skills and applying them. • What do you (and your students) need to learn when most of recorded knowledge is a mouse click away? T Greer 2011

  7. Bloom’s Taxonomy • In 1956, Benjamin Bloom headed a group who developed a classification of levels of thinking behaviours important in the processes of learning. T Greer 2011

  8. Anderson’s revised taxonomy No one level is more important than the other! T Greer 2011 Bloom’s is a strategy, not a tool! The strategy provides the framework and is an elaborate and systematic plan of action to achieve a goal. Tools are used alongside and within the strategy.
