Mike Fleetham's Thinking Classroom website is here to help raise standards of thinking, learning, teaching, creativity and success for learners worldwide.

It is managed by Mike Fleetham & Lucy Fleetham and is owned and funded by Aspiro Education Limited.

I am a learning design consultant, trainer, and facilitator, working with teachers and learners worldwide to help make education more effective and enjoyable. I believe that everyone is intelligent, everyone is valuable and everyone has the potential to succeed.

Through my training, books and website, I aim to enrich the life experience of one million and four people every year.

I specialise in the practical down-to-earth infusion of thinking skills, multiple intelligences, learning styles and skills-based learning into creative curricula. I aim to help you and your school provide the best teaching possible, preparing all of your children for success in their life work and learning.

 My Brief Learning Journey                                             My Blog

I created my first Thinking Classroom website back in 2000 when I was still a classroom teacher. I used it to publish my teaching ideas and classroom resources. I quickly received requests from schools to train teachers who were using the site.

In 2001 a visit to the Millennium Dome (Work Zone - remember that?!) opened my eyes to the future of work and inspired me to leave safe, pensioned employment and develop the website into a training business. 

As my workload grew, the website evolved to help drive new thinking in teaching and learning, and to support the schools who'd invited me to work with them.  In 2005 it got an upgrade courtesy of Microsoft and AMT after Lucy and I won the Hantsweb Award for greatest business potential.

As of 2010 over 11,000 people in 161 countries/territories use the site and receive monthly resources and ideas by email. This latest version has been designed and built by Vicky from Westover Computing and includes premium paid resources in addition to the original free library.

Thanks to all of you who have visited and recommended the site over the years. Please continue to do so; helping make learning more effective and enjoyable - worldwide!
