When I’m not running pupil workshops or staff training, I like to spend as much time as I can on creating resources that make it easy for teachers to introduce philosophy to their classes.

All these products can be orders by emailing me (Jason Buckley) at or by contacting me via any of the forms below. Orders of over £30 are free of P&P.

Orders for delivery to UK schools will be accompanied by an invoice and are covered by a money back guarantee.

If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, send it back within 30 days and we’ll cancel the invoice.

A compact guide for busy teachers

This is the booklet I use in all my training sessions.

As well as being packed with ideas, each book contains one of a set of 72 “personal ponders” which you can use in an icebreaker at the start of your own staff training session, and the address for a free email support service for examples of many of the activities mentioned.

Pocket P4C has proved extremely popular with primary and secondary teachers who have either done a Level 1 (SAPERE accredited training course) or want to find out about P4C.

“It provides a very useful summary which is pocket sized so that teachers can literally keep it in their pockets as a reminder of different approaches to every stage in an enquiry.”

Visit new worlds of thinking, taking the class with you

Tried and tested in the classroom, this is the teacher pack included with the Alien Adventures Workshop, also written to work as a stand-alone resource.

It is an ideal way for teachers of years 5-7 to introduce P4C.

By using a “philosophy in role” approach, children are immersed in an intergalactic journey that challenges them to solve the philosophical problems of the aliens they encounter.

See the Alien Adventures Workshop page for more details.

“I think, therefore I am” meets Horrible Histories

Can you prove you are real – or is your brain sitting in a mysterious building, hooked up to a powerful computer? Is letting someone fall to his death any less evil than giving him a gentle push? And what is that extraordinary gibberish on the final track all about?

Thinkers’ Stories is compendium of thought provoking stories, riddles, brainteasers and questions brought together to get your pupils thinking. Complied and presented by Jason Buckley, a philosophy for children specialist, the DVD is simply presented with the stories told, not read, directly to camera.

You can use the stories by themselves to develop thinking and discussion skills, within a philosophy club, or as part of a programme to launch P4C (Philosophy for Children) in your school.

Teaching notes and discussion plans are included, along with suggestions for taking pupils’ thinkings skills further.
