For children, parents and teachers.
Dr Cas Olivier - Cognitive Systems Pioneer
My motto is to liberate students on all levels from rote learning and enable them to become critical thinkers and knowledge creators. I have a solid footprint in South Africa amongst both teachers and students.
Change starting with yourself has never been so true .....
Carol Dweck of Stanford University is the expert in mindsets. She visits South Africa in May 2018.
Her point of view is that there are not dumb and clever people, but people with a Fixed Mindset and people with a Growth Mindset. Who are you?
Growth Mindset People's Brains Really Grow.
If you believe the solution to learning is mindmaps and summaries then it's time for change. Why do I say so?
Tony Buzan's book on Mindmaps appeared in 1974. This is 43 years later.
The explain method teachers use is 300 years old. Thinking Tools is for the future. Do you use Morse code (1836) or WhatsApp?
Thinking Tools provide the language to grow one's brain.
Thinking Tools language sounds like this:
1. I have analyzed the chapter and know what to master.
2. I'm looking for a concept and patterns, but I do not have it yet. (especially important for mathematics - the more the better)
3. I'm not afraid to make mistakes.
4. I know how to detect errors.
5. I know what I already know and what I need to work harder on.
6. I have knowledge to determine which Thinking Tools to use.
7. I know when I'm ready for my next challenge.
Thinking Tool Language empowers one to change from a Fixed Mindset to a Growth Mindset.
With Thinking Tools you are already in the future ....
