What Thinking
Hat are You?
 
As the school year comes to a close, and we all take a moment to breath...perhaps summer offers us the opportunity to re-evaluate.  Who are we as a Teacher? Principal? Administrator? Parent? Employee? Boss? Student? Neighbor?
 
Six Thinking Hats is a book by Edward de Bono which describes a tool for group discussion and individual thinking involving six colored hats.  "Six Thinking Hats" and the associated idea parallel thinking provide a means for groups to plan thinking processes in a detailed and cohesive way, and in doing so to think together more effectively.
