No matter what you teach, there is a 100 Ideas title for you! The
100 Ideas series offers teachers practical, easy-to-implement
strategies and activities for the classroom. Each author is an
expert in their field and is passionate about sharing best practice
with their peers. Each title includes at least ten additional
extra-creative Bonus Ideas that won't fail to inspire and engage
all learners. Questioning is key to effective teaching and
learning, yet practical questioning strategies that are immediately
useable in the classroom can be hard to come by. 100 Ideas for
Primary Teachers: Questioning presents practical strategies, games
and activities not only to help teachers improve their own
questioning in the classroom, but also to allow pupils to develop
an understanding of how they too can ask effective questions to
develop their learning. Using philosophical approaches including
ownership, authenticity, balance and Socratic principles, Peter
Worley, co-founder of The Philosophy Foundation, provides guidance
and ideas on how questioning can help pupils reach the next step
and activate their own thinking. He also encourages teachers to
reflect on their practice and the effect of questioning on
children's progress. The ideas in this book are applicable to all
subjects in a primary teacher's curriculum and are ideal for
establishing good questioning strategies and a solid understanding
of this core element of teaching.
Fully updated edition with five brand new sessions and bonus
features. Fully updated with new developments in the theory and
practice of teaching philosophy, this new edition of the
bestselling book, The If Machine, presents 30 clear, ready-to-use
plans to teach philosophy in the classroom with children aged five
to 13. Each tried-and-tested session offers an imaginary situation,
followed by a series of questions to encourage children to
challenge key philosophical ideas such as values and ethics, gender
and identity, and existence and beauty. With a star system
indicating the level of difficulty, this practical book by Peter
Worley, founder of The Philosophy Foundation, outlines Peter's
philosophical enquiry method, which he has developed over 20 years
of teaching. This fantastic resource also includes a new hints and
tips section, as well as a troubleshooting table with guidance and
links to further resources about how to deal with common problems
such as unanimity. Accompanied by a companion website featuring an
introduction to the philosophy that inspired the ideas, The If
Machine is a must-have resource for all classrooms.
David Birch's Provocations: Philosophy for secondary school will
help teachers to present ideas and stimulate discussions which both
accommodate and engage adolescent appetites. Foreword by A. C.
Grayling. Are human beings flawed? Is murder an act of insanity or
just plain thoughtlessness? Do we need a soul? From the fall of
Icarus to the rise of Caesar, this practical resource draws upon
history, philosophy and literature to provoke students to think,
question and wonder. Divided into chapters on the world, self,
society and others, the book is designed to give secondary school
teachers the means to listen rather than teach - and to allow the
ideas and thoughts of students to form the centre of the lesson. It
shares a set of mature and challenging philosophy sessions
predicated on the pedagogical methods of The Philosophy Foundation,
and which explore, among other things: Wagner and desire,
Shakespeare and madness, Joan of Arc and gender, Faust and
temptation, and Nostradamus and time. The sessions dare students to
think philosophically, to generate and test ideas, and to gain
deeper insights - and raise questions on slavery, consumerism,
utopia, the nature of evil, the limits of freedom, belief in God,
and a whole lot more. The book sets out a clear introductory
outline on its use both in and out of the classroom, and contains
helpful tips and advice to guide teachers to span the curriculum -
covering areas applicable to history, geography, religious studies,
science, art, English and citizenship. There is also an extensive
bibliography for those who wish to explore the topics in greater
depth. Designed for all teachers, whether they are Philosophy for
Children (P4C) trained or just experimenting with philosophy, of
learners aged 11-18. There is also a hardback edition available,
ISBN 9781845908881.
"The If Odyssey" draws out the philosophy that lies behind each
story in Homer's
epic tale to introduce children not only to the exciting fables of
Odysseus,
but also to that other great Ancient Greek tradition, philosophy.
Explore with
Odysseus the value of happiness, non-existent entities, moral
dilemmas, the
philosophy of prophecy, and the nature of love among many other
philosophical
issues. From the author of "The If Machine," this book offers
stories and
session plans suitable for use across the curriculum with children
aged 8-16.
Online you'll find maps of Odysseus' journey, The Words of Tiresias
that
provides clues for the children as to Odysseus' progress and an
Ancient Greek language
workshop with accompanying worksheets. You can use the 'Storykit'
section, which
provides hints and tips on storytelling skills, to bring the tales
of "The
Odyssey" to life and stimulate independent, critical thinking with
your
class.
This is the type of book many teachers will keep on their desk and
use the exercises very regularly; for me it is up there with Geoff
Petty's 'Evidence-Based Teaching' and Paul Ginnis's 'The Teacher's
Toolkit' as an essential resource. Worley is an excellent clear
writer, who communicates very complex ideas very well." Francis
Gilbert [http://www.francisgilbert.co.uk/], teacher, teacher
trainer and author of ' I'm a Teacher, Get Me Out of Here' Inspire
your class to think more deeply about curriculum subjects and get
them actively taking part in exciting philosophy experiments today!
This new book by bestselling author and founder of The Philosophy
Foundation Peter Worley is a collection of practical lesson and
activity plans to use in the primary classroom to get children
thinking philosophically and creatively, integrating philosophy
into different curriculum areas. The sessions - called thought
adventures - use thought experiments, stories and poems to get
children discussing and understanding topics more deeply. Each
session is explained step-by-step, with everything you need to 'do'
and 'say' spelled out, and all the equipment you need listed with
instructions on how to set up each session. You can implement the
sessions in the classroom either as a complete lesson or as an
activity within another lesson. All the sessions are tried and
tested by Peter and his colleagues at The Philosophy Foundation who
work with primary schools on a regular basis.
This book takes the principles explained in Vol.1 and describes a
complete classroom practice for conducting philosophical
conversations with groups (especially in schools) that has been
honed over nearly twenty years of classroom experience by the
author and his colleagues at The Philosophy Foundation. Although
the method (known here as philosophical enquiry or 'PhiE' for
short) has been previously described in many earlier publications,
this is by far the most thorough and comprehensive account of the
method to date in one place. It includes, not only a thorough
explanation of the central ideas of the method complete with
current updates, but many extensions to the PhiE method including
writing extensions, but most importantly, the extended thinking
programme. This is an extension to the PhiE method that implements
metacognitive and critical thinking strategies for the participants
that has been shaped by two years of reflective research conducted
by The Philosophy Foundation and King's College London.

A practical guide to facilitating philosophical conversations with
groups (especially in schools) based on philosophical and
pedagogical principles derived from the ancient Greek philosophers
but supported my modern-day research and pedagogical practices. It
divides facilitation up into basic, expert and advanced levels,
allowing a teacher to get going with some basic moves and
principles allowing for development of facilitation over time. As
well as being packed with practical strategies, questioning prompts
and methods for developing metacognition and critical thinking in
pupils, it also has brand new session plans published nowhere else
previously.
