Critical Thinking Skills

Our students are inundated with information from so many different sources. How do they understand what is happening in the world, when there are so many different versions of current events in the news, on our social media, and in their daily conversations? Having the skills to process multiple and complex messages is critical to their advancement and achievement. Critical Thinking helps students gather and process information, resolve conflicting messages, and then take appropriate action. Teaching our children to make good decisions equips them to be successful in life.
