I was thrilled to hear from Mrs Lynsey May (Head Teacher of St Patrick’s Primary School) recently about her success in using Making Thinking Visible Thinking Routines with her staff.

Mrs May attended our Introductory MTV sessions in March 2021 and saw the potential for Making Thinking Visible to be a valuable tool during a recent inservice day.

Here are some examples of St Patrick’s Primary School staff using Compass Points in action as part of a reflection and planning tool.

“Very pleased that staff said it was the most productive in-service they have had and they really enjoyed it and now feel empowered to move our school forward.”
