How Are You Engaging Learners in Critical Thinking?

9/17/2019

Critical thinking is arguably one of the most important skills for children to have upon entering adulthood. It is our responsibility as educators to not only teach content but prepare learners for life. The ability to critically think is essential. How are you engaging students in critical thinking?
A few months ago some tadpoles fell into my lap, figuratively and literally at times! I had reservations initially, but thought, well, this would be a good learning experience for my kiddos. I'm an experiential educator after all. I am attuned to opportunities that get children involved, and this would do just that.

Tips from the queen of STEM - how to get started with STEM in your classroom
