The University of Queensland Thinking Schools Network (TSN) is a professional development network designed for teachers and leaders to support a pedagogical approach to Teaching for Thinking.

The Thinking Schools Network (TSN) draws on the deep professional experience and pedagogical leadership of the University of Queensland Critical Thinking Project (UQCTP).

‘What’s special about the UQ Critical Thinking project is the focus on building aspiration by building academic capacity. We help teachers and schools deliver training in critical and creative thinking to their students, and students then come on to campus to see how those skills are applied in cutting-edge research.
