Welcome

Welcome to the Creek Street Thinking project. This is an interactive website for interested teachers to share their ideas and strategies for establishing thinking as a routine in their classrooms. This forum is one of 2 mechanisms through which teachers will be encouraged to communicate with each other. Through this blog, we will share examples of tasks and strategies that we are promoting in our classrooms, examples of student work, especially those with formative feedback, discussion about what particular strategies have worked and questions seeking advice in areas where others may help.The other mechanism will be school based with regular meetings between interested staff to develop tasks, lesson and unit plans and whole school approaches to establishing thinking routines across the curriculum.

Claim Support Question

Thank you Steve for the inspiring PD day last week. It supported several strategies I have used with my enrichment groups. I trialled the claim/support/question routine in Yr6 with the truth game. Lots of focus on good questioning skills to provide support/evidence to my claims. Lots of fun. Next step will be to introduce this routine for a set curriculum task. Our teenage son came home sprouting excitement over the horse puzzle, to see if mum and dad could get it. More fun. I've also heard many positive comments about very practical PD. We look forward to your next visit Steve.
