After completing a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Sociology, I went on to earn a postgraduate degree in Education. Since then, most of my teaching experience has been with 6–8-year-olds in a bilingual (English/German) setting. In 2013, I began studying Levels 1–3 of P4C with (previously) SAPERE. Through this work, I encountered Thinking Moves and was immediately drawn to its approach. I went on to complete both the Foundation and Advanced courses, and later trained to lead Thinking Moves courses myself. For me, Thinking Moves has provided powerful tools for developing a dialogic classroom. It empowers both first- and additional-language learners to reflect on their thinking, make informed choices, and communicate their ideas with clarity and confidence.
