The Northern Grid Higher Order Thinking Skills project has involved teachers, advisors and consultants from around the region. The aim of the project was to support HOTS at Key Stage 3 and 4 through the subjects of Maths, Science, Geography and Design and Technology. Online activities on the theme of Riverside Regeneration have been created and more activities are to be produced.
A section giving information and links to real regeneration sites in the region is currently being developed.
Don Passey, Senior Research Fellow at the Department of Educational Research,
