Encouraging critical thinking in gifted children: a practical introduction to the Thinking Bubbles

Paper

During this session, Frum van Egmond will introduce the Thinking Bubbles: a set of questions that cover all aspects of inquiry learning. The Thinking Bubbles are an important element of the Noordwijk Method, a curriculum that she has developed for primary and secondary schools in the Netherlands. Frum van Egmond will give a small introduction to the Noordwijk Method and she will then provide you with practical examples that you can use in your classroom right away. Special attention will be given to differentiated activities related to reading.
