Identifying the Need
There is a global call for action to improve student performance through
educating for higher order thinking. What is at stake? Applied literacy,
jobs in the global economy, and an engaged and thriving citizenry.
Stakeholders advocate for schools shifting from rote-memorization to
explicit teaching for skillful thinking and problem solving. This requires
equal access to learning at higher levels for ALL students independent of
gender, ethnicity, and cultural background. The problem? There are few
research based, scalable and sustainable approaches available for schools
to meet this challenge.

Meeting the Challenge
Thinking Foundation supports this urgent challenge by supporting a proven
comprehensive design for implementing, accrediting and disseminating
the Thinking
Schools International approach. What do we do? We work with local and regional leaders
to create a network of model Thinking School sites using the scalable BUILDING THINKING SCHOOLS implementation design. The results are documented and
assessed within each school using the Thinking Schools Accreditation Process (TSAP).
Supporting the Work
Who are we? Thinking Foundation is a nonprofit group with extensive
experience working with individual schools and scaling the Thinking Schools
design across whole countries. How can you help? Support comes in a
variety of ways: financial contributions for individual model schools and
larger projects, providing links to key 'change makers', and participating
in our global network of people committed to transforming education locally
and world wide.
