What will you benefit as a teacher?


  1. Your engagement with learners will change to Flipped Teaching. Flipped Teaching is different from the flipped classroom.
  2. With Flipped Teaching learners are doing the explaining work which is based on the unique Thinking Tools approach.
  3. The success of this approach is based on learners' inborn Thinking Tools which are hidden learning talents that are managed by the brain's inborn Mothership of all Thinking.
  4. The Mothership of all Thinking is driving critical thinking which enables learners to discover knowledge themselves, gain insight and solve problems as expected as per the set curriculum.
  5. When Thinking Tools teachers empower their learners to manage their thinking, learners are enabled to repackage information in ways that facilitate the development of new neural pathways in the brain,
  6. Once neural pathways are established the related information and supportive patterns are cemented into the long-term memory which can be retrieved without tedious revision and memorization.
  7. This results in improved marks supported by developing social skills and improved Emotional Intelligence.
  8. This again results in improved classroom management and discipline.
