The Thinking Curriculum (Enhanced DVD)

Critical thinking skills are one of the most important, yet poorly understood and taught, aspects of education. Generations of American students have struggled to receive the type of training they need to think in a critical and skilled manner about the world around them.

Thankfully this problem is being addressed by new critical thinking exercises and educational lessons that are focused on engaging students in a way that makes them better understand how to engage with their world.

To meet this end, the "Thinking Curriculum" DVD helps teachers and students take a look at higher-order thinking skills and how to foster them in the classroom. Students will learn why these skills are so important in higher education and in their every day lives. Teachers will learn natural and innovative ways to integrate them into their lesson plans.

Critical thinking is often taught from various books, including Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy and Costa and Kallick’s "16 Habits of Mind." This DVD also touches on Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences and Edward de Bono’s Six Thinking Hats as a way of fully understanding how critical thinking skills vary.

Anyone who purchases this DVD also receives free access to a printable online worksheet that focuses on these lessons and tests your students ability to utilize them. This short and informative DVD can be used year-after-year to help provide your students with stronger and more flexible thinking skills.
