Wellesley College Thinking Toolbox

At Wellesley we:

· encourage students to extend and practise thinking skills, and employ these skills in day to day situations.

· promote the thinking skills programme as something which will benefit adults and children and which is integrated into all parts of school life.

· introduce children to the workings of the human brain, including how it functions, how memory and concentration work, and how the creative thinking process operates.

· encourage student enquiry through asking thoughtful, open ended questions

· provide opportunities for students to practise and develop their questioning skills
