ThinkPlus Schools

The ThinkPlus metacurriculum for learnable intelligence and thinking tools is being developed for Australian schools for years Prep – 12.

ThinkPlus is designed to develop an awareness of how our brains work, growth mindsets, good thinking dispositions and practical tools for collaboration, problem solving and creativity.

The metacurriculum is based on contemporary research about how the brain learns and thinking occurs. The key to ThinkPlus is the concept that intelligence can be grown with effort. By instilling young learners with the confidence and ability to think through problems, we envisage that they will be better equipped to navigate challenges in the 21st century.

The “ThinkPlus School” concept seeks to bring together, in partnership, schools committed to innovation and the Elevo Institute with the express purpose of creating a better future for young people.

The “ThinkPlus School” partnership seeks to:

• develop the creative potential of young people as a preparation for the challenges of a rapidly changing world, and an unknowable future
• improve teaching and learning through development of well-researched and tested innovative methodologies
• incubate new ideas, taking them from thought leadership to the school/classroom.
