The Foundation for Critical Thinking Moves to Bring Critical Thinking to Schools
Tomales, CA (PRWEB) October 31, 2013 -- The Foundation for Critical Thinking, international authority on critical thinking, announced a new program bringing critical thinking training to schools. With 80% of adults thinking schools should teach critical thinking skills, the Foundation for Critical Thinking wants to bring the training to school-age children everywhere.
Linda Elder, President of the Foundation for Critical Thinking, argues that we should embed critical thinking into the heart of the curriculum. Dr. Elder outlines steps to emancipate the minds of a new generation. Dr. Elder believes this should be the age of reason, but that we are failing to foster the intellectual skills that could liberate student minds.
