Critical thinking

This practical resource outlines seven easy-to-implement strategies for promoting critical thinking using the Thinking Framework. Whether it’s building physical models with Writer’s Block, mapping ideas visually, or using talk routines like Think-Pair-Share, each approach helps learners take ownership of their thinking. Designed for busy classrooms, these suggestions show how simple shifts—like passing the dialogue to students or varying cognitive actions—can make deep thinking a routine part of everyday learning. Ideal for teachers looking to build a more reflective, structured learning environment without overcomplicating their planning.
