This document discusses Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats technique for creative thinking and effective decision making. The Six Hats include Blue for process, White for objective facts, Red for feelings, Green for creative ideas, Yellow for benefits, and Black for cautions. Each hat represents a different perspective and helps separate thinking styles. The document provides an overview of each hat and how it can be applied, using an example of whether librarians should wear tutus. It also outlines a group exercise to practice applying the Six Hats technique.
Six Thinking Hats is a self-help book which describes a tool for group discussion and individual thinking involving six colored hats. "Six Thinking Hats" and the associated idea parallel thinking provide a means for groups to plan thinking processes in a detailed and cohesive way, and in doing so to think together more effectively.
Coloured hats are used as metaphors for each direction. Switching to a direction is symbolized by the act of putting on a coloured hat, either literally or metaphorically. These metaphors allow for a more complete and elaborate segregation of the thinking directions. The six thinking hats indicate problems and solutions about an idea the thinker may come up with.
The 6 Thinking hats ensures that groups think together in a focused manner, staying on task, & ensures that they focus their efforts on the most important elements of any issue being discussed.
This presentation is a summary of the book "Six Thinking Hats" by Edward De Bono. In this method, each “hat” has its own, easy-to-remember color – white, red, black, yellow, green, or blue – that represents a certain type of thinking.
This is a presentation based on the concept, what each hat represents, few cases and how to apply six thinking hat in scenario based cases, the sequence of hats

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Six thinking hats

2. Using De Bono’s Six
Thinking Hats for
Creative Thinking,
Effective Decision
Making, Engaged
Meetings, and Faster
Problem Solving
SCLA / SELA 2013
Joint Conference
Greenville, SC
November 13-15,
2013
Dr. Linda Golian-Lui (with Katherine Jana Lui-Golian)
Kennesaw State University
10. Thinking about Thinking
Thinking is like breathing – we
take it for granted. But how we
think is just as vital to our lives
as leaders as breathing is to
live. (Thinking about Thinking, 1993, p.70).
11. We ALL Think we are “Right”
All of us assume that the way we think is the
“right” way
Thinking often proceeds as waffle and reaction to
what turns up from moment to moment
How we think dictates our approach and therefore
our behaviors
When we fail at something, we ascribe it to be bad
luck, we seldom take the view that the way we
thought about it was part of the problem
12. Thinking Causes Confusion
We involve too much in the thinking
process
We inappropriately get our emotions,
ethics, values, ruts, friendships,
intelligences, gender issues, experiences,
creativity, flexibility, learning styles,
opinions, and thinking styles involved in
decision making and problem solving
situations
15. II. Edward De Bono
Considered the father of lateral thinking
Concluded that the only people satisfied with their
thinking skills were POOR THINKERS who believed
that the purpose of thinking was to prove yourself
right
Believed that people needed to embrace the
concept of thinking ONE THING at a time
This allows thinkers to separate emotion and other
baggage from logic
16. Lateral Thinking
Thinking to resolve
problems with an
indirect and creative
approach, using
reasoning that is not
immediately obvious
17. III. 6 Thinking Hats
Technique for effective meeting and / or
problem solving.
Ability to switch one’s view / vision and
attitude.
A tool for individual and team thinking
development.
A tool that supports a healthy learning
organization.
18. Why Six Thinking Hats?
Helps us to communicate more effectively
Promotes creative problem solving
Supports dealing with new situations
Allows us to deal with limited information
Takes away emotions and baggage
A way to avoid arguments
Can be fun
Allows brain to do one thing at a time – less confusing, more
focus
20. Guiding Principles
Use hats to focus the thinking … one at a time
Don’t have to use all the hats
Can use some hats more than once
No debates or arguments … brainstorm
Begin with blue
End with blue
Keep red brief
Keep time brisk (3-4 minutes per hat) – prevents rambling
If you need to stimulate ideas consider a ‘Random Word’
22. Manages the process
Keeps people focus
Makes the agenda
Provides summary
Helps communicate the
conclusion
Helps finalize the next
step
Manages the time limits
23. Blue Hat Key Points
Plays the role of the discussion leader
Could be any participant, but usually the
scribe
Used for directing when switching hats
Takes practice to use this hat skillfully
and with tact
24. Blue Hat Prompts
Why are we here?
What are we dealing with?
What do we want to achieve?
Where do we want to end up?
26. White Hat: Information Collector
What information is
available?
What information would
we like to have?
What information do we
need?
What information is
missing?
How can we obtain the
missing information?
27. White Hat Key Points
Reports AND listens
Assesses the accuracy
Assesses the relevance
Deals with conflicting information
Does not do the thinking for others
Helps to separate the facts from
speculation
28. White Hat Prompts
What do we know?
Do we really know what we think
we know?
What do we need to find out?
31. Red Hat: Focus on Feelings
Intuition
Feelings
Hunches
Justification not
needed
No Whining
32. Red Hat Key Points
Full permission to express feelings and intuition
Ok to express ‘right now’ feelings
Ok to express ‘how I felt’ feelings
Ok to express ‘how I think” I might feel
Ok to express fears
Ok to change feelings
Not supposed to be correct or logical
Not supposed to be reliable
33. Red Hat Prompts
How do you feel about this?
How did you feel about this?
36. Green Hat: Creativity
Cannot expect people
to be creative but can
expect people to make
a creative effort
A willingness to:
Look for alternatives
Challenge current
thinking
Consider new
possibilities
37. Green Hat Key Points
A deliberate search for alternatives
Ok to be illogical
Ok to suggest something that has failed before
Ok to suggest something that will cost $$
Ok to be outrageous
OK to modify an idea
A deliberate search for alternatives
Don’t be satisfied with the obvious
Pregnant pauses are OK
38. Green Hat Prompts
What are some alternatives?
Think outside of the box?
If we had $1 million dollars what
could we do?
If we had unlimited time what could
we do?
40. Yellow Hat: Focus on Benefits
What is good about
the situation?
Who might benefit &
how?
How is this
valuable?
Why is this logical?
41. Yellow Hat Key Points
Value sensitive
Concept sensitive
Why is this of interest to people /
organization?
How does this showcase organizational
ROI?
How does this give our organization a
competitive edge?
42. Yellow Hat Prompts
How can we make this work?
What value is there in this idea?
What opportunities were there in the past?
What opportunities are there in the future if
we stay the course?
Under what circumstances would this work?
44. Black Hat: Focus on Cautions
What are the
possible problems?
Where might there
be difficulties?
What are the risks?
Where do we need
to proceed with
caution?
Where are we weak?
45. Black Hat Key Points
It is OK if some of the same information
also comes up under white hat
This is NOT the time to solve the problems
raised by the black hat
This is a valuable and necessary step – be
thorough and ruthless
However, do not overuse this step
46. Black Hat Prompts
How could this backfire?
What’s the risk?
Why would someone object?
Will this expose us to liability?
Do we have the resources?
Will it cost too much?
Has it failed before?
