Neil has invested his time as an educator exploring the relationships and nuances that link “learning” and “achievement” in the classroom, focusing on the practice of inquiry as a pathway for curriculum design. Neil uses action research to understand the impact that Visible Thinking Routines have on student dispositions to create Cultures of Thinking in classrooms. Personally, he loves swimming, listening to any kind of live music, and being a proud member of Atletico Madrid.
