How well is your school implementing thinking into your curriculum programs?
Critical and creative thinking are embedded and mandatory in every State and Territory’s curriculum framework. ITC Publications can assist your school to improve the teaching of critical and creative thinking and collaborative learning.

"The first time Eric presented a full day seminar on "Cooperative Learning Strategies" to our staff, the impact was immediate, with students being more engaged in their learning"
ITC Publications can deliver a sequential Professional Development program to suit your school’s needs. Many of our programs are delivered over a 12 month period to ensure a whole school approach to thinking, and sustained change in teaching practices. It is ITC’s preference to deliver a sequential consulting program, rather than one-off workshops to schools.
