10. Fostering Critical Thinking

In this episode, Katie and Dawn reconnect after a brief hiatus to talk about fostering critical thinking skills in the classroom. First, they chat about how to help students understand where their own assumptions originate and why we need to challenge those assumptions. Then, they dive deeper into some steps teachers can take to challenge those assumptions to make decisions and solve problems. Let's talk about fostering independent lifelong learning in our "decade episode"!
