Thinking Curriculum
Discover how Townsville's Thinking Curriculum builds independent thinkers through practical tools like mind mapping and reflection frameworks.
Our Townsville Thinking Curriculum aims to equip our pupils with thinking tools that guide them in their learning journey. We provide them with opportunities to develop their own way of learning as they journey through the various learning experiences and gradually develop their own ability to master their thinking processes effectively.
Our Townsville Thinking Toolbox is filled with a varied number of tools such as:
i. Polya’s UPDC Model
ii. KWL for understanding, planning and reflecting
iii. Mind mapping for generating, visualising, organising, problem solving, decision making, reviewing and clarifying.
iv. 5W1H as a questioning technique to understand a situation or problem and to discern the problem by analysing each aspect
v. Behaviour Over Time Graph (BOTG) for pupils to chart their emotions at different intervals of their learning journey, enabling them to gauge their knowledge and emotions at the end of each session on the graph.
vi. The 3-2-1 Reflection for seeking improvements and refinements.
