Higher Order Thinking Skills

The focus on ‘Higher Order Thinking Skills’ during March at Auchinleck Academy will see pupils participate in a range of activities in order to develop and reinforce their higher order thinking skills. Pupils will participate in activities throughout the school with this level of engagement providing a deeper insight into the importance of higher order thinking skills. Using a taxonomy of thinking skills to plan and reflect on learning opportunities can ensure that the young people of Auchinleck Academy are challenged. Exploring these skills can help the young people to develop a set of transferable skills that will help them cope with the challenges of future learning, life and work.
