What are some of the key issues and questions involved in teaching with and for critical thinking? What are we learning about ways that teachers and students can engage in critical thinking within the classroom and beyond? During this open house, we will hear about some of the observations by CCT assistant director Jeremy Szteiter from a recent trip to Amman, Jordan, where he participated in and presented workshops to local educators around the development of using critical thinking in teaching practices and as the basis for change in the direction of schools. We will then share a dialogue about what we know about the teaching of critical thinking, what we still need to know, and possible next steps. All are welcome to join this open house and explore this timely topic, as well as speak with others in the CCT program and learn more.

Please join us at 7:00pm online using the link above, or on campus at UMass Boston in Wheatley Hall, fourth floor, room W04-170.
