A methodology for developing thinking skills, reasoning, self-esteem, respect and collaboration, P4C is rapidly becoming embedded within our Zone. Using a community of enquiry approach, stimuli are presented to children, who then raise questions based on the stimulus. Philosophical dialogue then ensues, facilitated by the teacher, and through this deep learning takes place.
Who is it for?
P4C has its place in every curriculum area, even extending to a thriving parents’ group in one school.
What resources are available?
All P4C training and advice is of a practical nature.
What are the training implications?
Our resident trainer, Nick Chandley, has experience ranging from Foundation to Secondary, including Special Schools and exceptionally gifted children, and can offer INSET from staff meetings and awareness days to SAPERE accredited Level One courses.
