Critical thinking shouldn't just be a happy accident—it’s a skill that can and should be taught with purpose. In this session, participants will explore practical strategies for embedding critical thinking into daily instruction across content areas. We’ll unpack what “critical thinking” really means, examine its key components, and identify common misconceptions that get in the way of teaching it effectively. Educators will learn how to design lessons, questions, and tasks that challenge students to analyze, evaluate, and create—not just recall. Using the CHESS system, attendees will leave with a toolkit of techniques to foster a classroom culture where inquiry thrives, reasoning is valued, and students become confident, independent thinkers prepared for complex problem-solving in any field.
