Developing new methods, and habits of practice can be challenging. In this episode of Sentral Station, Simon Brooks explains why this can be difficult, and provides practical insight into developing new ideas and approaches to teaching and learning based on the cultures of thinking framework.

This is the last of our four part series with Simon. If you haven't heard the previous three episodes, then we commend them to you. You may also wish to get in touch with Simon directly, and you can visit his website.

Coming up this November, Sentral Station will be releasing a short series on wellbeing, with Kylie Fabri, Deputy Principal of Callaghan College, Wallsend Campus in Newcastle. Over 3 episodes, we'll cover the language of wellbeing, the benefits of using a centralised system for managing wellbeing (like Sentral) and how technology has changed the nature of managing wellbeing in schools today.

Sometimes taking on new ideas and approaches is harder than you think. What if you're just not into it? In this episode of Sentral Station, education researcher Simon Brooks helps us navigate such a situation, and helps us turn frustration into curiosity.

Simon Brooks helps us to understand 'types of questions', and how to use them to really great effect in the classroom.

We all think. But what is a culture of thinking? And if we don't have a culture of thinking, how do we go about creating one? Researcher and presenter, Simon Brooks, describes what it's all about.

Following from our previous episode, Richard Andrew takes us through a simple example of teaching maths conceptually. Using the concept of adding fractions with common denominators, Richard explains how the conceptual approach can make such a difference.
