Thoughtful Teachers, Thoughtful Learners: A Guide to Helping Adolescents Think Critically (Pippin Teacher's Library)

The ability to think critically is the foundation of learning in all areas of the curriculum -- and life.

With clarity and enthusiasm he demonstrates how thoughtful teachers in all disciplines can use listening, talking, questioning, reading and writing to encourage their students to become thoughtful learners with minds open to examining issues from a wide variety of perspectives, and well equipped to make decisions, both inside and outside the classroom, that are guided by a search for reason.Norman J.
