Creative and Critical Mind

Description

As we strive to better prepare students for real world careers and challenges, we need to focus on developing students’ creative and critical thinking skills.

Educators can encourage students to become 21st-century problem solvers by introducing them to a wide variety of thinking tools that extend beyond memorization and recall. The purpose of this workshop is to show educators different ways and methods of empowering their students to become creative, critical thinkers and problem solvers—people who are constantly learning and who can apply their new knowledge to complex, novel, open-ended challenges; people who will proceed confidently and competently into the new horizons of life and work.
