Description
Many times educators go big with critical thinking, higher order thinking, and deeply engaging learning activities that leave their students both working and thinking rigorously. However, when left unstructured and without proper direction, these activities and lessons can end in disaster and leave teachers discouraged. In this 1-hour course, “Planning for Critical Thinking – The Practical Tools to Avoid Disaster,” lawyer and educator Colin Seale will help you discover ways to ensure that the objectives you develop as an instructor are clear yet ambitious and how to know what the end product should look like when it comes to critical thinking.
After taking this course you will walk away knowing:
- SMART goals
- How to check for understanding
- What good engagement really looks like

Short and sweet. Pretty basic.

The course makes sense. I feel that I do a lot of what he is talking about. The course does not discuss how to deal with gaps in student levels, In my classes, based on iReady pre test, my student levels are between grade 2 and grade 7, this is for an 8th grade math class. I find creating several assignments of differentiating instruction to be very difficult.

This course encourages teachers to think more deeply about the lessons they plan so that teaching objectives are met and students are learning the intended objective.
