Reflections on Classroom Thinking Strategies

Reflections is designed specifically to create a more successful classroom climate in which all students are empowered to be better thinkers.

The four major parts of this book deal with:


Beliefs about the Thinking Classroom
Strategies for Analysis and Evaluation (Blooms Levels)
Strategies for Creative Thinking
Strategies for Co-operative Thinking

There is also a bonus download in which the author has supplied a large range of blackline masters for the classroom dealing with the subjects above.

Everything in this book was forged and tested in the classroom. It is a book about teaching, by teachers, for teachers. It is designed to encourage a passion for teaching with an eye on that important ingredient called FUN.



Testimonials about the book



I love this book and I have found it to be encouraging, motivating, inspiring and above all else it makes sense and is logical. This book has changed my views on teaching dramatically, and also will contribute greatly to my future classroom practice. For this, I thank you in advance and please know that when I stand in front of my class for the first time as a qualified teacher, I will be silently sending a big ’thank you’ your way.
Kind regards, Angie Walter, 2nd Yr. B.Ed.



Eric's books are engaging and highly relevant encouraging pre-service teachers to move beyond a 'tool box' approach and inspire deep thinking as to the 'why' when planning and employing higher order thinking. Eric’s books are very practical and provide an excellent resource for both beginning and experienced teachers.
