Critical Thinking Handbook: K-3Rd Grade

The first in a set of four guides for teachers in the art of using critical thinking strategies to redesign their instruction in language arts, social science, & science. The aim is to empower students to master content, acquire knowledge & discipline their minds. "Paul's handbooks combine sound theory with a realistic, practical classroom approach. They have been extremely popular with our teachers, many of whom say their teaching has been revitalized. Our teachers overwhelmingly recommend Paul's approach to critical thinking because it is practical & meaningful & easily infused into the curriculum." Janet Williamson, Reasoning & Writing Project, Greensboro City Schools. "Paul's work is a practical, down-to-earth exploration of the countless avenues involved in implementing cr itical thinking. What he does is to infuse the goals (of critical thinking) into every technique, every discussion, so that in the end, to the extent the book has been useful to you, you will no longer need it. You will be actively engaged in critical thinking." Gerald Nosich, expert on critical thinking across the curriculum. "Dedication is not enough to get critical thinking into the classroom. There is the difficulty of knowning exactly how to do it. The handbooks give me clear strategies for redesigning my lesson. In fact, I often remodel my lessons more than once & gain additional insight." Jane Astredo, Grade 2Daniel Weil is the author of 'Critical Thinking Handbook: K-3Rd Grade' with ISBN 9780944583050 and ISBN 0944583059.
