Critical thinking is the ability to effectively use higher order thinking skills to plan, teach, and reflect on instructional practice while integrating and applying theories of teaching, learning, and development.
"Knowledge will bring you the opportunity to make a difference."
-Claire Fagin
Critical Thinking within a classroom allows students to use their creative knowledge to analyze information and solve problems. Children can understand the importance of their actions and words as teachers implement social-emotional lessons in the classroom. As teachers, we must teach students how to discover their skills and demonstrate them.
