This is an effective continuing professional development (CPD) programme which incorporates Bright Ideas Time Strategies . Information about these can be found on the Primary Science Teaching Trust Website. A summary of the Thinking, Doing and Talking Science (TDTS) programme and it's effects on attainment can be found on the Education Endowment Fund website. Further evidence of impact of TDTS can be found through international third-party organisations (Wellcome Trust, Science Oxford and others).

The strategies incorporated into TDTS include: Practical Prompt for thinking, Odd one out, Positive, Minus and Interesting, Big questions and Solving an open technological task. The TDTS materials produced by the PSTT, have since been adopted and adapted by the Wellcome Trust and developed into Explorify, a learning resource for schools across the globe.

This poster (click here) provides a summary of the key teaching strategies adopted by these bright ideas time strategies, the evidenced attainment benefits and the nature of thinking they can promote. This is discussed further in a recently published article in the journal of Research in Science & Technological Education (RSTE). Click here to read it or the abstract.
