What's Happening At Severn 

Nurturing Critical Thinkers with Garfield Gini-Newman

In an increasingly complex world it is becoming more important than ever that our children are taught to be creative, critical and collaborative thinkers.  As such, nurturing children’s capacity for effective problem solving is one of the most important ways both teachers and parents can help ensure student success in school and beyond.  Severn Avenue Public School is very fortunate to be working in partnership with Professor Garfield Gini-Newman to continue to build these core competencies with our students. 

Parents who are interested in learning more are invited to attend a free information session where Professor Garfield Gini-Newman will explore some of the key findings in brain research that shed light on learning and will share practical tips parents can use to work with their children to help them become good critical thinkers.  For more information click on the event poster below:
