MOVING ON IN THINKING SKILLS
Welcome to the website of the Thinking Skills Conference 2001!

Moving On In Thinking Skills is focused upon increasing children’s potential for learning and equipping them for lifelong development and learning.  The conference has been devised to respond to individual participants who:

		have different learning styles
		are at different stages in their learning and therefore have different teaching needs
		wish to attend the one-day conference or the whole package, which includes pre-conference dinner and overnight accommodation on 21st November at the Hilton Hotel, NEC

The unique aspect of this custom-built conference is the opportunity to choose and customise the day to suit your own individual needs.

“Current attempts to teach thinking are part of a more general thrust in educational reform which emphasises the quality of thinking processes and thinking skills as a means to raise educational standards and to prepare children and young people for lifelong learning.  Raising standards requires that attention be directed, not only on what is be learned, but also on how children learn and how teachers intervene to achieve this.”
