'I want our resources to benefit as many teachers & children as possible.' 

(Sue Dixon - Founder of Thinking Child)

 

Thinking Child supports schools to achieve the best possible outcomes for their children and families.

 

A great deal of thought goes into all of our resources - to ensure they are creative, practical, affordable and most of all - have a real impact on teaching and learning.

 

To achieve the aim of working in partnership with even more schools across the UK and abroad we have recently launched The Thinking Child Network

NEW RESOURCES THIS TERM

This is the first in a series of Top Tips booklets for TAs - hard copy and digital versions available

 

 

TA training and support is to be a major part of our work in 2015.

We offer a Strategic Consultancy package- supporting senior management to develop robust and coherent strategies for the effective deployment of TAs

 

 

 

In addition we will be continuing to offer our successful 2 day TA Literacy Training Days: Sue Dixon Reading & Writing Courses

 

 

THE MINI TALES PACK - our latest resource launched in the autumn of 2014.   Ten short and manageable stories for Key Stage 2 with a bank of great ideas to equip teachers and TAs to be able to deliver effective guided reading sessions.

 

 

All our resources will support you:

to deliver the new curriculum in interesting and creative ways

to support your commitment to help your children be successful, happy, independent learners- what we like to call ‘thinking children'.

to use our ideas flexibly, allowing you to always use your professional judgments to adapt our ideas for your context and children's needs.

 

Their flexibility allows them to be used

with small groups in the classroom

as independent tasks that are child initiated

as whole class starters/quick challenges or whole sessions

as homework options – involving parents and the rest of the family

 

 

 

IN ADDITION

Our new training brochure for 2014 -2105 is now available. Our training is different - it is designed to be accompanied by at least one of our resources - thus providing 'hands on' ideas that can be used straight away in the classroom (or outside) .
