Learning in the 21st century will demand new ways of thinking...radical re-imagining, for new ways and places to learn...new ways to see learning as it takes place and most importantly a focus on fostering passion, thinking, creativity, innovation, and the skills that are needed to compete and thrive in a global, connected world.

Why ThinkPlus
Our wondrous, fast-paced, globally connected world offers new opportunities, but also poses new challenges with no ready-made solutions. Information is abundant and instantly accessible. The thinking required to collaborate, innovate, create and solve problems is scarce. Formal education requires a boost to ensure that young learners are prepared for the unknown challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
ThinkPlus!
ThinkPlus is a metacurriculum for learnable intelligence and thinking tools, to be implemented in Australian schools from years Prep to 12.
ThinkPlus is employing educational design research for the development of the metacurriculum.
Our approach aims to address the needs of young learners, classrooms and schools by involving students, teachers, school leadership and parents.
