Critical Thinking - Evaluating information and arguments, seeing patterns and connections, constructing meaningful knowledge, and applying it in the real world.
Evaluating information and arguments
Making connections and identifying patterns
Meaningful knowledge construction
Experimenting, reflecting, and taking action on ideas in the real world
Using technology for learning (leaveraging digital)
Learning Progression for Critical Thinking
mLISD Outcomes
Critical Thinking: Learners will demonstrate a process for thinking critically by applying, analyzing, synthesizing and/or evaluating information as a guide to understanding and action.
Students should be able to:
Defend well-reasoned conclusions and solutions, testing them against relevant criteria and standards.
Influence mindsets and selection of tools when presented with sound reasoning and solid evidence to communicate new ideas.
Leverage resources to show multiple angles, perspectives, or ideas consistent with evidence addressing diverse perspectives.
Use reflection and/or feedback to revise ideas or actions.

Deeper Learning Outcomes
Think critically and solve complex problems - Students apply tools and techniques gleaned from core subjects to formulate and solve problems. These tools include data analysis, statistical reasoning, and scientific inquiry as well as creativity, nonlinear thinking, and persistence.
Students are familiar with and able to use effectively the tools and techniques specific to a content area.
Students formulate problems and generate hypotheses.
Students identify data and information needed to solve a problem.
Students apply tools and techniques specific to a content area to gather necessary data and information.
Students evaluate, integrate, and critically analyze multiple sources of information.
Students monitor and refine the problem-solving process as needed, based on available data.
Students reason and construct justifiable arguments in support of a hypothesis.
Students persist to solve complex problems.
New Tech Outcomes
Knowledge and Thinking - grounded in the ability to reason, problem-solve, develop sound arguments or decisions, and create new ideas by using appropriate sources and applying the knowledge and skills of a discipline. As students gain momentum in Knowledge and Thinking they are empowered to discover the truth in assertions, to think critically, and to become knowledgeable about the world around them.
PBL Works
Critical Thinking - purposeful, self-regulatory judgment which results in interpretation, analysis, evaluation, and inference, as well as explanation of the evidential, conceptual, methodological, or contextual considerations upon which that judgment is based.
Qualities of a critical thinker:
habitually inquisitive
well-informed
trustful of reason
open-minded
flexible
fair-minded in evaluation
honest in facing personal biases
prudent in making judgments
willing to reconsider
persistent in seeking results which are as precise as the subject and the circumstances of inquiry permit
Students should be able to:
Demonstrate understanding by uncovering the interrelationships of topics and concepts (explanation/analysis)
Make inferences and generalize knowledge (interpretation/inference)
Determine the quality of information and arguments (evaluation)
