Strategies to help teachers to support learners to think, as well as thinking about how thinking occurs and what the gaps might be.

Practical, useful, clear, scaffolded for use in the classroom. Very approachable lecturer and lessening of anxiety through post-workshop contact.

The BCP focuses on the learner… where the teacher acts as a mediator, prompts to access logical thinking and develops language.
