Create a Coaching Critical Thinking Skills Poster (K-2)

I Listen. I ask questions. I share ideas.

I use information. I think hard.

Create a Coaching Critical Thinking Skills Poster (3-5)

I can explain a concept, idea or problem in my

own words.

When my team is discussing a topic or

problem, I ask questions that help me understand

better.

I take time to understand a topic or problem before

I try to solve it.

I use information to help me understand a topic or

solve a problem.

I can explain why my conclusions or solutions

make sense.

If one solution to a problem doesn’t work, I

try another

I can explain how different people might

look at an issue, problem, or event.

EXAMPLE 3

A local lake (10 miles from school) is a source of much income and many jobs - the quality of the water running into the lake is extremely important. A recent story mentioned surface water and water quality. Student teams have began to investigate the local watershed and will regularly sample and test those places. Data will be compiled and communicated to local associations at the end of the study. A class book will show how to test for various components and what those components do, as well as a class video on running the various tests.

EXAMPLE 5Students use matrices and linear algebra to

decide how to best use some vacant land in the city for either recreation or development. In the role of consultants to the mayor, student teams present their recommendations in the form of a formal written proposal, including an explanation of the math used to solve for the most cost-effective land allocation.

EXAMPLE 7Students, in the role of financial advisors, find the

best use of $25 so that it makes the most impact for a community. They select a project from Kiva.org to lend a $25 microloan. Students conduct interviews with a banker to learn how lending works and investors to learn what projects they are passionate about. They consider repayment schedules, delinquency & default rates for the project and lender. They present their recommendations to investors, as well as the school and local community to get their Kiva projects fully funded.

EXAMPLE 8

Students in a kindergarten classroom make homemade yogurt with their instructor. While making the yogurt, the instructor asks a series of questions to probe them to critically think about the process. For example, the instructor asks, what about this is alive?, and guides them to a discussion around bacteria. At the end, they eat the yogurt and color a page that shows how yogurt is made up of bacteria.

EXAMPLE 10Seniors taking economics receive a text with a recent U.S. News

& World Report article, ‘College is no longer necessary for success in the real world.’ In class, they discuss the text and the instructor asks them their thoughts. For 2 weeks, students gather information to understand the issue more fully, discuss, reflect and collect information. The instructor serves as a tutor and supports students as needed but does limited traditional instruction. In the end, many students explore the issue from multiple perspectives (e.g., parents, colleges, administrators, high school students, a loan officer, and graduates). They learn about essential social and economic topics through their self-directed exploration and propose plans on the benefits and drawbacks of college.
