Learning Thinking SCOPE
The Learning Thinking SCOPE supports teams to consider deeply the role of thinking in learning. It provides a clear methodology for developing a schoolwide system for learning improvement. Collective efficacy powers and focusses the Learning Thinking SCOPE because it has a high correlative relationship with school wide learning improvement. Further and equally importantly, use of the Learning Thinking SCOPE over time deepens teacher thinking and understanding about how learning happens.
The SCOPE is a pedagogical framework focussing on evidence-informed classroom strategies and is organised into four interrelated elements:
