CRITICAL THINKING IN SCHOOLS
Course Description
This course is modeled after Professor Bill Flynt’s Critical Thinking class at SUNY Erie, and influenced by the book “Asking the Right Questions” by M. Neil Brown and Stuart M. Keeley. It has been simplified to be age appropriate for students in grade school and high school, and it was further developed through working with students in the 21st Century Program at Gloria Parks.
