Welcome to the ‘REAL Thinking & Learning to Be More’ Newsletter, your weekly source of inspiration during school terms. My newsletters are dedicated to fostering a deeper understanding and awareness in crucial areas, such as:

• Key concepts in thinking and learning.
• Insights from cognitive science and learning science.
• Strategies for growth as a thinker and learner.
• Effective Learning Teaching Support Material, and more.

My passion is to delve into these subjects through thoughtful reflection, reading, and research. I aim to share compelling insights and ideas that can inspire you to become more aware, metacognitive, knowledgeable, and empowered in your journey as a learner, parent, educator, or professional.

Join me as we explore the power of deliberate thinking and learning—a path to personal growth and development. My mission is to help you ‘Be More’ in your learning journey.

• In 2023, we delved deeply into Learning Teaching Support Material (LTSM), providing valuable resources and insights.
• For 2024, our newsletters embraced the theme ‘Mini-Lessons to Be More,’ offering concise, impactful lessons to enhance your learning experience.
• This year, 2025, will focus on an exciting theme, Be the CEO of Your Brain’. Not everyone can be the CEO of a company, but we can all be the CEO of Our Brain!
