Description

Critical thinking is approached through a holistic model that stresses creative and analytic strategies. Participants consider cognitive development issues informing the design of instructional materials and methods which promote higher-order thinking. Practical strategies for immediate classroom application are a priority. An open environment promotes collegial exchange that builds on professional experiences while cultivating new skills that engage students in active learning and independent thinking. (3)
