3. The
Thinking
Ladder.
Charlotte Russell

4. Every lesson you will have a set of learning
objectives which are designed to help you
move up the thinking ladder.
The thinking ladder helps you to learn by
developing your skills.
You start at the bottom and as your learning
progresses you will gradually make your way
towards the top.
The skills at the bottom
(REMEMBERING, UNDERSTANDING &
APPLYING) are the basic skills you need to
pass. As you move upwards you access the
harder skills (ANALYSING, EVALUATING &
CREATING). It is these skills which will help
you to access the higher grades!
Create
Remember
Understand
Apply
Analyse
Evaluate

5. Developing opinions, judgements & decisions.
Critical thinking skills.
Separating a whole an examining it’s
component parts or features.
Using facts, rules, principles and applying them to
examples or to solve a problem.
Organisation and selection of facts, information
and knowledge.
Combining or organising information to form a
new whole or create something new.
Identification and recall of information. Also
known as Knowledge!

6. Extension Tasks
During lessons, if you have finished
your main tasks, you will be directed to
choose a task from the Thinking
Ladder. You may choose a task from
any of the skills pockets, depending on
how confident you feel about what we
have been learning in class. In each
pocket you will find a series of
tasks, you need to choose one of them
to complete.
The aim is to try and push yourself to
the higher skills. If you feel confident
enough and want to access the higher
grades, you could push yourself to the
more advanced skills pockets.
