Class experience
Your student will learn to think for themselves through information analysis, decision making, evaluation, reasoning and problem solving. Your student will develop opinions, create judgements and claim ownership for their arguments. This class will prepare students to critically think in all of their classes as well as in life. They will develop skills of observation, analysis, interpretation, reflection, evaluation, inference, explanation, problem solving, and decision making. I believe...
Students will: - increase their critical thinking skills. - understand asking questions requiring deep thinking. - improve on their communications skills. - will have fun!
In the classroom I realized that if my students could think, they could handle any thing thrown at them regardless of the situation. I worked to set up ample opportunities to express themselves appropriately, both in speech and in writing. I truly believe that by fostering these skills in students, we increase their potential for success. By creating a culture of critical thinking, students develop skills that allow them to problem solve, work in groups effectively, and express themselves powerfully.
