Traditional Curriculum The Thinking Oriented Curriculum
Teaching centred Learning centredContent focussed Process driven Students answering questions asked by someone else
Students setting their own questions with the help of matrices, keys, mindmaps etc
Comparing student memories at a point in time
Recording growth in thinking processes over time
Students recalling and applying prescribed content
Students applying core thinking processes as they work with content
Private thought processes Shared experiences and learning
Writing verbal summaries and explanations Summarising key points and showing connections on visual / mental maps
Teaching of methods for content recall Use of metacognition for identifying and sharing thinking processes
Passing standardised or public exams for selection purposes
Developing independent , critical, creative and caring thinkers
Belief in a single intelligence that is fixed and static
Belief in multiple intelligences that can change with effort and instruction
Much “ just in case ” learning More “ just in time ” learning

Example 1 ‘Kristallnacht’; the NationWide Pogrom of November 9 and 10. 1938 ‘Kristallnacht’ – literally, ‘Crystal night’ – is usually translated form German as the ‘night of Broken Glass’; it refers to the violent anti-Jewish pogrom of November 9 and 10 1938. The pogrom occurred throughout Germany, which by then included both Austria and the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia. The name ‘Kristallnacht’ referred to the broken windows of synagogues, Jewish-owned stores, communal centres and homes plundered during the pogrom. Although frequently used, the term has come to be regarded as a euphemistic way to refer to this brutal pogrom. The Germans officially presented ‘Kristallnacht’ as a spontaneous outburst of public rage in response to the assassination of Ernst von Rath, third secretary at the German embassy in Paris. A young Polish Jew named Herschel Grynszpan shot von Rath on November 7, 1938. Grynszpan was apparently motivated by the plight of his parents who, like tens of thousand so Jews of Polish citizenship living in Germany, had been expelled from Germany but denied entry into their native Poland. Grynszpan’s parents and thousands of expelled Polish Jews, were stranded in a refugee camp near the town of Zbaszyn in the border region between Poland and Germany, Grynszpan knew of his parents’ plight through a letter he received from them. Von Rath died on November 9 1938, two days after he was shot. As reprisal for von Rath’s death, the Nazi’s ordered a massive pogrom against Jews throughout Germany. The program was conducted by the SA. Hundreds of synagogues all over Germany, including Austria and the Sudetenland were attacked, vandalized, looted and destroyed. Many were set ablaze. Firemen were instructed to let the synagogues burn but to prevent the flames from spreading to nearby structures. The shop-windows of thousands of Jewish owned stores were smashed and the wares within looted. Jewish cemeteries were desecrated. Many Jews were attacked by mobs of SA men. While not directly involved in the pogrom, the SS and the Gestapo used it as a pretext for the arrest of abut 30,000 Jews, who were sent to Dachau, Buchenwald and Sachsenhausen concentration camps. Many of the Jews were treated brutally but released after a few weeks, on the condition that they begin the process of emigrating from Germany
