Incredible creativity at Killicomaine JHS! From escape rooms, marble runs to a surprise staff play, their 'off-timetable' launch of #HabitsOfMind was next level. Our local consultant was so impressed we’ve recorded the Drive Team session to share with #ThinkingSchools Stay tuned.

Rowandale IPS, Moira, County Down is 'moving' on in embedding metacognitive approaches further. We were delighted to recently introduce the whole staff to the Thinking Moves A-Z in their beautiful new staff room #thinkingmoves #thinkingmatters #thinkingschools #metacognition
