About - Rodin Education

You’re visiting this page because you’re striving to teach thinking tools, lead more successfully and to empower vibrant thinkers – whether in your classroom, in your staff room, board room or in your home.

In short, you want to be a better educator, trainer, business leader or parent.

I trust that the successful thinking tool, frameworks and ideas shared in these easy-to-use print books and e-books will make your teaching task easier, more rewarding and a lot more fun.

I also have a library of free videos on my Rodin Education YouTube channel to help you learn how to use thinking tools for your lesson planning and meetings.

I am now in my 49th year of teaching and still loving presenting the occasional workshop and demonstration lesson for teachers around Australia to show how to create your thinking classrooms using thinking tools and skills.

My signature printed book, Reflections on Classroom Thinking Strategies: How to Create Your Thinking Classroom with 42 Practical and Engaging Thinking Tools, is available right now with a fresh cover in its 11th edition. I am proud to say this print book has sold more than 35,000 copies in Australia, New Zealand and abroad, and remains a trusted guide for teachers, educators, lecturers and uni graduates; what’s more, it is now supporting business leaders in the corporate world.

I have now also published four new e-books to act as guides for teachers wanting to use thinking tools to engage their students and boost the thinking and fun in their classrooms. These are the tools and philosophy I use daily as an education consultant. These resources are designed to be extremely easy to use and to apply to your lesson planning and classroom teaching. They are also powerful thinking resources for boosting the energy, engagement and outcomes of staff meetings, workshops and family conversations in the home.

Please visit our Rodin blog to learn about teaching tips, step-by-step guides to thinking tools, free downloads and more.

I encourage you to have fun with these resources and share them with your students, colleagues and families so that they too use these tools as their personal learning guides and inspiration.

That’s how you create thinkers for life.
