Think Before You Act!

`The book is very accessible and practical, and could be used not only by teachers but also by learning mentors, classroom assistants and others. Indeed, just over half of the content consists of worksheets, and then there is as addendum, of posters at the back. All in all, this is a very practical book that encourages more analytical problem-solving skills and greater levels of interactive/social skills among pupils with challenging behaviour' - Educational Psychology in Practice

This publication has been inspired by de Bonos innovative work on CORT Thinking. Michael Hymans initially used this model to help youngsters with hostile and inconsequential behaviour.

Now modified to suit all pupils, not just those with behaviour problems, this publication provides 12 lessons. Each lesson includes:

" full teacher instructions

" group activities

" photocopiable / printable resources

" a CD-ROM with all the activity sheets and 18 full-colour posters.

This exciting and original resource will:

" motivate children to actively participate in lessons

" enable teachers to mediate in young peoples thinking processes.

This exciting teaching and learning resource brings into the hands of all teachers the work of de Bono and other experts on teaching and thinking skills.
