  I learnt how to recruit and select potential Thinking Skills Trainers, and manage my team of Trainers. This involved observing & auditing classroom delivery, building & maintaining relationship with clients. Furthermore, I shaped my experiences of classroom to learn to design age appropriate game situations for children which creates required mental experiences, creating lesson plans around these situations, assessing the learning of the child and concretising it in a report.

  My experiences as a Trainer aided me in learning how to train a person to become a Thinking Skills Trainer. I learned how to Train a Trainer on - creating experiences for the child at the mental level; producing the same mental actions in all the children in the classroom; engaging the children completely and delivering pre-defined mental actions in each child using existing scripts. I also learned how to create lesson scripts and, I created scripts for delivering lessons using physical board games, making children reflect on the actions taken and thinking processes used to take that action.

• Thinking Skills Trainer

  • Apr 2015 - Jun 2016

  Thinking can't be developed just by giving instructions, it gets developed by direct experiences. As a Thinking Skills Trainer, I learned and experienced this, i.e. to synchronize direct development of 'Thinking Abilities' with 'Mindful Learning Experiences'. I worked on creating such experiences and developing Thinking Skills in a group of children in a classroom, using a system of physical board games as a medium.
