Teaching Critical Thinking Starts With The Student

Out of all of the ideas and circumstances and knowledge and information that you encounter on a daily basis, what’s worth understanding?

From sources of motivation to self-image, the most important things students learn at school aren’t always what you expect.

Challenges with privacy, cost, and using new tools in old learning models can make things worse for teachers and students, not better.

Hermeneutics is a branch of knowledge concerned with the theory, practice, and methodology of interpretation of text.

Critical reading is reading with the purpose of critical examination of the text and its implicit and explicit themes and ideas.

Consider flipping your teaching so students work on some parts of the project offline and use online time for coaching and support.

If you would’ve told me that rather than quitting teaching, I should ‘try counseling,’ I probably would not have responded favorably.

What do you want your students to remember most about you? Your class? What’s the enduring message you hope stays with them for a lifetime?
