Description
One of the best ways to help stimulate critical thinking skills — an essential part of students’ development — is to build discussion into the classroom. Whether in pairs, groups, or as a class, discussing content with one another challenges students to engage with the information at a higher level, while developing creative and critical thinking skills. In Strategies for Critical Thinking, Bob Iseminger walks through several methods for creating discussion opportunities in the classroom.
These strategies include:
- Think-Pair-Share
- Traveling talk
- Grouping
- Take a stand

The course was very helpful, because as teachers sometimes we think that grouping students by ability is the only way that will allow students to be successful and will not hinder the learning of the high achievers, but I can see now why it makes more sense to allow highs and lows to work togethe.
