The Thinking/Learning System (T/LS)
The Thinking/Learning System (T/LS) is a thinking skills program developed by Peter Edwards and Ervin Sparapani. The program is designed for all learners, elementary through adult. It focuses on four higher-level thinking skills, information processing, creative thinking, critical thinking, and decision making. The program combines Bloom's cognitive taxonomy and Gardner's multiple intelligences with brain-based teaching. The purpose of the T/LS is to integrate thinking skills with the teacher's regular classroom instruction.
