'Clever Thinking' is an educational resource for teachers to help students achieve Creative (ideas generation) and Critical (evaluating ideas) cognitive skills across all subjects. This program was designed to address the absence of Design education in the current NSW primary school curriculum, serving as an integrative way of introducing teachers and students to the crucial higher order thinking skills Design Education offers.
Teachers receive a kit, including 54 flash cards with different ideas for fostering creative and critical skills in their lessons. It is hoped that through this resource available across all subjects, generalist primary school teachers can be more informed and active in practicing the benefits of a more holistic learning experience and subsequently, moving to an eventual emergence of Design Education to be available to all.
