  How We Think

  John Dewey

  How We Think is a seminal work by the American philosopher and educator John Dewey, first published in 1910. The book explores the process of human thought and inquiry, examining how we develop ideas and knowledge, and how we use critical thinking and problem-solving to make sense of the world around us. 
  Dewey's approach emphasizes the importance of experience and reflection in the process of learning and thought. He argues that our thinking is influenced by our past experiences and that we must reflect on those experiences in order to form new ideas and perspectives. He also advocates for a scientific approach to inquiry, emphasizing the importance of observation, experimentation, and testing in the development of knowledge. 
  In How We Think, Dewey also introduces his ideas on experimentalism and pragmatism, arguing that knowledge must be grounded in experience and that theories and ideas must be tested through practical application. He discusses the role of logic and critical thinking in this process, and the importance of education in fostering these skills. 
  How We Think is a groundbreaking work in the fields of philosophy, education, and psychology, and remains relevant today for its insights into the nature of human thought and learning

  This book is a reference work where teachers can quickly find ideas to deal with the challenges they face daily in their classrooms. It is a "recipe book" with tried and true solutions, for example, for getting a class's attention at the beginning of or during the lesson, getting chatting pupils and groups back on task, integrating outsiders into the group, dealing with disturbances and emotional outbursts and establishing discussion guidelines and classroom procedures. It consists of lists. Lists of simple ideas on, for example, how to deal with pupils who can't sit still, kids who always want to be first and students who get so carried away that they call out the answers rather than raising their hands.
  
  It is a gold mine of ideas and it represents many years of classroom experience -ours and that of the participants in our seminars. There's lots of information in it for teachers in elementary, secondary and -with a bit of flexibility and a creative mind- in adult and tertiary education as well. This collection of tips, rituals, nonverbal signals, examples of short verbal input, symbols, pictures and sophisticated teaching techniques will help you to manage the classroom successfully while creating a positive and harmonious atmosphere in which learning can thrive and grow. You will save your voice and spare your nerves and you will create an atmosphere where you can do what you became a teacher to do - to teach!
  
  This book is a practical supplement to the first book of the "Talk less. Teach more!" series:
  "Nonverbal Classroom Management. Group strategies that work."

  In this book 5 key areas are highlighted that will vastly increase your ability to support your child or student with their ADHD. 
  These five areas are: 
  Understanding the signs and symptoms of ADHD 
  Educational support you can put into place 
  Technological support you can access 
  Dietary support for your child’s ADHD 
  The role of exercise in supporting your child with their ADHD 
  In each chapter my role is to provide a good snapshot understanding of what is happening in that space. It is not to provide a comprehensive and detailed analysis and assessment of that area, as the primary role of this book is to ensure that you are able to get started from the get-go with supporting your child/student with their ADHD. I have made footnotes and references for those of you who wish to delve a little further in each area, at your leisure. 
  With Love 
  Suzanne
