In an increasingly complex world it is becoming more important
than ever that our children are taught the 3 C’s as well as the 3 R’s.
The 3 C’s refer to creative, critical and collaborative thinking. Nurturing
children’s capacity for effective problem solving is one of the most
important ways both teachers and parents can help ensure success in
school and beyond.
Professor Garfield Gini-Newman will explore some of the key findings
in brain research that shed light on learning and will share practical tips
parents can use to work with their children to help them practice higher order thinking.
Hosted by the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board’s Parent Involvement
Committee with grant funding from the Ontario Ministry of Education.
