Christine Durham, M.Ed., has presented over 4000 workshops teaching thinking skills to schoolchildren. She speaks frequently on her innovative work in her native Australia and overseas. A mother of four and a grandmother of three, Christine brings to her work the imaginative approaches she has used with her own children and grandchildren – and with the countless pupils with whom she has explored the magic of ‘thinking aloud'. She is also the author of Doing Up Buttons, an inspiring account of her recovery from massive injuries following a car accident.
