Points of View Thinking for Teachers & Parents
The purpose?of the “Points of View Thinking Lessons” is to broaden perception. How we choose to frame or look at a situation is as important as how we then apply judgement.
The seven Points of View lessons are free to use by parents, guardians and teachers. (The deBono website below can be used for this, or to print and use with your family or the school that you are a teacher, but not for further distribution or commercial use).?
