- Discover how closing the critical thinking gap can help address this important issue
Mr. Seale walks you through the following strategies for shaping your students’ critical thinking:
- Helping students funnel risk-taking tendencies into opportunities for activism
- Providing students with opportunities to examine situations and consequences from different perspectives
- Enabling students to apply these concepts in different situations
