Ethiopia Thinking Schools Project
The Ethiopia Thinking Schools project is a collaboration of Robert Price with Thinking Schools International and Eminence Social Entrepreneurs (Ethiopia). Thinking Foundation has provided initial support in piloting a Thinking Schools approach in Ethiopian public (government) schools, private schools, and NGOs. The Thinking Schools approach includes:
  • visual mapping
  • collaborative networking
  • reflective questioning
  • thinking skills
  • structuring environment
  • developing dispositions
  • ongoing assessment and documentation

The learner centered Thinking Schools appoaches provide a foundation for the writing, reading, math, science, arts, and other disciplines curriculums. They provide a common language to explore, discover and learn in a collaborative environment that supports and sustains the creativity of the educational community. Action research grants for Ethiopian educators is an important component for developing a network of practice and research within the Ethiopian education community.
