This document provides an overview of Thinking Maps and how they can help make learning higher-order thinking (H.O.T.). It discusses the 8 different Thinking Maps and how each aligns with different cognitive processes. Participants are then led through an activity where they get into expert groups to learn one map in depth and then teach it to their home group, applying the map to an original example. The goal is for educators to learn how to use Thinking Maps to develop students' higher-order thinking skills.
Emotional maturity- How mature are you emotionallly?Babu Appat
We must be emotionally balanced. Life will have its own ups and downs. How clear yourself through these is what matters. We must be able to analyse and find reasons for failures and manage them successfully. You may weep or cry over incidents which you may not like to happen in life. Your ability to manage these kind of events in life and bounce back into active life depends on your emotional health.
Empathy in leadership : how will it serve the leaders and the team?
Much has been talked about the need for leaders to have empathy. At the same time, the conversation of how to develop empathy and on whether empathy can be learned or not has surfaced too.
Before we go into how empathy can be developed, let's take a look at how empathy helps leaders to be more effective with their team and what to be cautious on ie on how empathy can go wrong.
Yes, you read that right. It CAN go wrong, if it's not exercised with other EQ competencies and it can lead to burnout.
I believe this has been one of the major reasons why some leaders are very cautious or even reluctant about exercising empathy with their team.
Let me know what do you think.
I'm OK, You're OK, by Thomas A Harris MD, is one of the best selling self-help books ever published. It is a practical guide to Transactional Analysis as a method for solving problems in life. From its first publication during 1967, the popularity of I'm OK, You're OK gradually increased until, during 1972, its name made the New York Times Best Seller list and remained there for almost two years. It is estimated by the publisher to have sold over 15 million copies to date and to have been translated into over a dozen languages

Good Enough Parenting: Introduction - Wade and Deb Cook 2-4-17DenverCoC
For the next few months, our parents will have the opportunity to go through Good Enough Parenting! While we've done this series before, we'll be experiencing a fresh take on how to truly meet our teen's core emotional needs as they grow and mature! You do not want to miss this time!
The ladder of inference is an important tool in understanding how we think and helping others understand why we think what we do. When working with others, this is an important capability. This brief video explains how to use the ladder to develop your leadership capability.
Peter Salovey, along with his colleague John Mayer, put forth one of the first formal theories of emotional intelligence in 1990. They coined the term emotional intelligence and described it as “the ability to recognize, understand, utilize, and regulate emotions effectively in everyday life” (Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, 2013).

Thinking Maps Introductory Presentation - Four Map Deep Dive
Please note - this is only an overview. If you would really like to improve student achievement, ask your administrator/district to invest in Thinking Maps. They change students' lives (and their scores!) I am not a paid representative of the Thinking Map organization. I just LOVE Thinking Maps!
Improve reading comprehension, writing skills and memorization for students. Allow teachers to create class and course plans,collaborate with colleagues and link home & school activities.
This presentation show examples of students work using thinking maps. The movie at the end show teachers in professional development learning and reviewing thinking maps
John Medina's Brain Rules served as living guide for Clarity in Teaching. A weaving of Skillful Teaching (skills in clarity) by Jon Sapphier and modern-neuroscience that is very relevant to education.
Our goal is to connect the knowledge base from cognitive development and neuroscience to practical knowledge about learning and teaching in educational environments. Grounding learning and teaching in research about learning, we have discovered a universal scale for learning – which greatly increases the power of assessments and makes possible the use of a common toolkit for learning sequences in any domain. In addition, we have been able to design on-line computer-based assessments that make assessment both less expensive and more convenient. The tests start with assessments that are connected to learning environments and can be used directly to promote and guide learning. Our goal is to move beyond using tests as sorting mechanisms and toward using them as powerful aids for education.

Have a general discussion about the Thinking Map you will be
1 teaching. Discuss the ways you might be able to use this map with
the grade level and/or content you teach.
Make sure everyone in your group can draw the Map and name the
2 thought process the map represents.
3 As a group, decide on the 4 or 5 details you need to include when
you teach your Home Group this map.
Finally to make sure that you understand your Thinking Map,
create an original application that you can use as an example
4 when you teach your Home Group. Everyone in your Expert
Group should draw and use the same map idea as an example.
