Critical and Creative Thinking
Vistara Primary School uses Critical and Creative Thinking (CCT), an innovative program which is designed to teach students to think for themselves and be more resilient.
CCT helps prepare students with the skills, strategies and dispositions
for life-long learning.
Critical and Creative Thinking involves teaching students strategies
about knowledge, skills, behaviours and the seven dispositions
for learning.
“Dispositions describe a person’s inclination to use
particular skills when faced with problems to solve,
ideas to evaluate or decisions to make.”
Macquarie University.
The seven dispositions are:
Open Minded
Flexible
Risk Taker
Resourceful
Patience and Persistence
Ubiquitous Learner
Reflective
The Minds Wide Open - Critical and Creative Thinking Program,
is both evidence based and Australian Curriculum-linked.
