Teacher’s Takeaway of
Thinking Tools course
Here’s an overview of how the course s structured:
The course consists of 20 individual modules, where each chapter builds on the previous chapters in a holistic and integrated way.
It is divided into three phases:
1. The Paradigm Shift – introducing the move to brain-based teaching and learning (4 modules).
2. The Mothership of All Thinking – exploring how thinking is managed, driven, and facilitated by the brain’s inborn system, and the role and purpose of the inborn Thinking Tools (7 modules).
3. Application in Practice – providing guidelines and practical applications for classroom and learning contexts (9 modules).
The full course takes 18 hours to complete.
It is designed for groups of at least 6 teachers to ensure collaboration and effective facilitation.
Benefits & Outcomes
By the end of the course, participants will:
- Gain a deep understanding of how the brain naturally learns and how to align teaching with these processes.
- Develop practical skills to use the inborn Thinking Tools for lesson design, facilitation, and formative assessment.
- Be able to move beyond rote teaching towards fostering critical thinking, adaptability, and self-regulated learners.
- Learn strategies to break down silo teaching in subjects like mathematics and languages, enabling greater cross-curricular synergy.
- Walk away with ready-to-use classroom practices that make teaching more ffective and learning more meaningful.
