I am so impressed with these two websites, especially the first one. It is a Canadian organization that gives terrific ideas on how to teach, create, and share ideas on CT.
The Critical Thinking Consortium Critical Thinking Consortium
Just today I received an email from them with this information about more resources at this URL (under Join heading):
“If you are in a position to help implement critical thinking, here are three resources you might use to introduce the Tools for Thought to teachers during a short meeting. This online collection of ready to use lesson plans introduces students to a wide range of intellectual tools for effective thinking. “
There are lots of easy to use ideas for all levels, including lesson plans. What could be easier?
Critical Thinking Pathways (Critical Thinking Pathways)
Edutopia, where this article appears, has a lot to recommend it on many issues educational, but this posting by blogger Todd Finley really sent me over the moon. It has everything from definitions of CT ideas for project-based learning to the formulation of questions. It’s a collection of resources (including Ennis’s from above) that you could spend a day looking over. Be sure to look at the other articles in the series.
