The term ‘endless possibilities’ evolved from the Effective Provision of Preschool Education (EPPE) research and involves two or more individuals working together to solve a problem, clarify a concept or evaluate activities. It requires all participants to contribute to the thinking, which should be extended.
Sustained shared thinking is best described as those times when an adult is totally absorbed with a child, in conversation or in an activity with a genuine interest on both parts to find out more. Sustained shared thinking can happen anytime, anywhere and only requires time and interest on the part of the participants.
