The 40th Anniversary of the Critical Skills Classroom
with Laura Thomas

Wednesday, December 3, 2025 from 7-8PM

Schools looked different when the Critical Skills Classroom came to Antioch University New England. No one had heard of PBL, Cooperative Learning was group work, #Experiential Learning was for ropes courses and backpacking trips, and EdTech was playing Oregon Trail on the classroom Apple IIe. Then a group of teachers came together with a common purpose— to figure out how to help their students solve problems, communicate, and collaborate without adding more to their already overcrowded days. Together, they created the Critical Skills Classroom.

A lot of things have changed over the last 40 years, but Critical

Skills is still created by teachers, for teachers, grounded in

educational research, designed to support all kinds of teachers in all kinds of classrooms—with the flexibility to meet this moment in education.

Come learn about how the Critical Skills Classroom has evolved to support teachers contending with AI, complex social needs, and ever-changing curricular expectations.
