We know critical thinking is important-but perhaps we have become so immersed in the why of critical thinking that we have forgotten about how to do critical thinking. This session examines how to use video, music, text, and exciting interactive activities to foster your students' critical thinking skills across the curriculum for academic and personal success. This workshop goes beyond why. It provides practical information you can use immediately on how to teach critical thinking for academic success, career readiness, and personal development with understandable, approachable, and applicable classroom strategies. Participants will learn how to apply an effectively simple model for critical thinking and recognizing cognitive biases and traps.   Webinar Objectives Participants will: Understand how to apply a simple-to-use critical thinking model across disciplines Practice the skill of recognizing assumptions using multi-media sources (video, song, text, and interactive activities) Identify common cognitive biases and emotional traps that hinder critical thinking Apply the critical thinking model in academic and personal contexts     Webinar Speaker     Steve Piscitelli has dedicated himself to the processes of teaching and learning for more than three decades.
