The purpose of this book is to bring the message of the brain research
and its implications for the classroom to educators in a user-friendly
format. The book uses the four-corner
framework which addresses the elements of setting the climate for thinking, teaching the skills of thinking, structuring the interaction
with thinking, and thinking metacognitively
about thinking.

This book is intended as a resource and guide to translate enthusiasm
about the theory of multiple intelligences into educational practices. It challenges educators to see that if we can
engage all intelligences through the instructional strategies we use on a
regular basis in our classrooms, we reach each student
regardless of his or her particular pattern of intelligence, and foster the
development of all facets of all intelligences in all students.

This book is dedicated to the teachers of the future. It helps educators provide for a broad range
of structures and activities, that when they prepare lessons they would no more
dream of trying to teach primarily through Teacher Talk than they would dream
of going back to the 20th century.

The whole Q-Matrix is based on twelve simple words, most of which have
one or two letters! But in combination these words form powerful tools. These
simple tools placed in the hands of our students, revolutionize student
interaction patterns and thinking. It is
as if Multi-Level Questioning Materials were the key all along, waiting to be
discovered. Now with little effort we
can pick up that key and open the door to higher level thinking for all of our
students.
“So Each May Learn” –
Integrating Learning Styles and Multiple Intelligences
Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development
ISBN 0-87120-387-1
As the title suggests, this book addresses a model of integrating the
two powerful learning models of multiple intelligences and learning styles to
meet the challenge of accommodating and encouraging the full range of student
diversity. The book provides an easy to
read background in the theory for both learning models that includes the
principles on which they are based. This
is balanced with practical ways of applying the theory to planning, delivery
and assessment.

“Reflections on classroom thinking strategies” – Practical strategies to encourage thinking in your classroom.”
Rodin Educational Consultancy 1998
ISBN 0646-282247
All strategies presented in this book offer teachers the opportunity to
have a break from active teaching and offer the students an opportunity to be
independent learners. It is therefore an
attempt to encourage the transfer of learning energy from behind the teacher’s
desk to the learners’ side of the teacher’s desk.

In this book you will find questions, questions, and more questions!
But these are no ordinary questions.
These are the important kind – higher-level thinking questions – the
kind that stretch your students’ minds; the kind that release your students’
natural curiosity about the world; the kind that rack your students’ brains;
the kind that instill in your students a sense of wonderment about your
curriculum.
