The Thinking Learning Classroom
The Thinking Learning Classroom is a book of philosophies, ideas and activities to help you create the optimal external and internal learning environment
in your school, organisation
or corporate training room.
The Thinking Learning Classroom honours the art and science of being a teacher and life long learner through the exploration of a variety of contemporary topics and important education issues: including learning styles models, behaviour
management, the psychology of thinking and learning, learning barriers
and self esteem.
With more than forty years combined teaching experience, educators and authors Glenn Capelli and Sean Brealey take a practical approach to thinking and learning theories and classroom teaching methodology. Coupled with teaching and learning tips, anecdotes and hands on activities, they have produced
a valuable and practical text
suitable for educators of
youngsters and adults alike.
The Thinking Learning Classroom is a book about discovering thinking and learning as an exciting and challenging process and aims to assist educators in their journey to develop more joyous, compassionate and successful learning environments for all.
