Brilliance is distributed equally. But too often, opportunity is not. The COVID-19 pandemic has given us the strongest possible case for prioritizing critical thinking instruction, but we still treat critical thinking as a luxury good. Equity requires educators to remove the systemic barriers far too many students face to unleashing their critical thinking potential. To address this urgent issue, join Colin Seale, the author of Thinking Like a Lawyer: A Framework for Teaching Critical Thinking to All Students (link) and Founder and CEO of thinkLaw (link) in this FREE webinar. This is not about pie-in-the-sky ideas and theories. Instead, this workshop outlines powerful, but practical tools educators can apply immediately to close the critical thinking gap.
