Toolkit for CAIT (2024)

To support development of Critical, Adaptive and Inventive Thinking (CAIT) through learning activities in Secondary Science and Secondary English Language, CotF has worked with AST, CPDD1 and CPDD2 to develop sample SLS lesson flows, in the form of templates, with recommended use of the SLS AI-enabled feature ShortAnsFA for engagement in issues in Science and argumentative writing in English.

These provide a starting point for teachers to incorporate and apply strategies to help students enhance their metacognition, problem-solving skills and critical thinking through developing self-awareness, monitoring and evaluation of their thinking.
