Critical thinking in the Advanced classroom

How to foster more critical thinking in the Advanced classroom?

This article caught my attention on the topic. Jackson posted it last week and after our last session I decided to write a few words on it. http://www.edutopia.org/stw-kipp-critical-thinking-10-tips-for-teaching?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=blog-critical-thinking-tips

The first tip is to ask questions. The right questions that is. We cannot take students' learning for granted and must check with concept questions. Also shall we trigger engagement by asking questions without being board-centered, we may well have a couple of questions prepared to start of a group discussion instead of having everything projected on the board. Students contributions are to be explored and questioned as well, not only by the teacher, by their peers too. Critical thinking moments often appear when questioning takes place. Hope to talk to you next week!
