Product reviews for The Thinking Teacher

-˜If we want thinking children, we need thinking teachers,' says Oliver Quinlan at the start of his book. He's dead right - and systematically and skillfully he shows us what that means. The result is a book of considerable depth, yet written with a lightness of touch that makes it eminently readable. For me, now approaching my thirtieth year as a teacher, I learnt a huge amount that was new and was nudged to rethink ideas that I have for too long taken for granted as the only way of doing things. Like all the best education books, this one left me genuinely excited about my work as a teacher and thoroughly refreshed in my own thinking.
