Don't be such a square!: Think Outside the Box

Jen MacArthur

Summary

In this session, we will explore what we mean when we talk about "critical thinking skills," why they matter, and how we can include more critical thinking opportunities into our lessons. During the workshop, you, the audience, will be asked to think outside the box and to share your own experiences developing students' critical thinking skills in a variety of ways.
