Abstract :Having been fully involved in the Philosophy for Children pedagogy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(devised by Professor Matthew Lipman five decades ago);, I have integrated fully his Community of Inquiry classroom strategies to teach understanding about virtues, values and ethics to promote democratic procedures, higher-order thinking skills and authentic response to student questions. This paper details four pedagogical steps in the Heasly Thinking Skills System: a.      The art and skill of asking questions. b.      The ‘ME’ diagram. c.      The Six Steps of Decision-making. d.      The Heasly Uncertainty Grid – known by my students as the HUG/BUG. The objectives and purposes of my refreshed theory of education, called EDU-TENSEGRITY, include the Heasly Thinking Skills System.
