Based on the successful, proven Thinking Maps model developed by David Hyerle, this book makes a compelling case for making an <i>explicit </i>focus on thinking the foundation for every school. Enabling all students to become drivers of their own thinking and learning, a Thinking School is defined as an educational community in which all members share a common commitment to giving regular, careful thought to everything that takes place including learning how to think reflectively, critically and creatively.
