Think it, Map It! by Ian Harris

Think It-Map it! is the most relevant, practical and helpful bok yet written on mapping techniques in the classroom. By showing you what pupils' thinking looks like, Think it-Map it! gives you the necessary insights to integrate literacy, thinking skills and accelerated learning in your classrooms. You are given a clear overview of the reasons why this visual tool works so effectively in both the teaching and learning processes. You will find out how teachers have used model mapping to make their lives easier, enabled them to focus on Teaching and Learning and supported them in improving results. In this book you will learn how an iner city primary teacher raised her classes SATs English results by 23 per cent, and how a grammar school received outstanding plaudits from its inspection.

'..we cannot navigate physically or intellectually without a map... So the learner needs a map that will always let him or her find their way to what they already know and enables them to navigate from there to their desired destination. This book is fundamentally about how learning works and how teaching can be transformed when it grasps and respects some cardinal principles - about facts and knowledge, about memory and retrieval, about language and thinking, about individual and social learning. This book sheds new light on some deep truths about peer learning, about talking your way to meaning, about learning as liberation from a ruthlessly lockstep progression through the curriculum. It is a salutary reminder in an age of attainments targets, SATS, key stages and value added that learning is what schools are for and it is what makes teachers want to teach. This book is a real treasure trove of good ideas and sound pedagogic principles.' Professor John MacBeath, Chair of Educational Leadership, University of Cambridge
