Description
Increasingly, colleges and employers lament the lack of higher-level thinking skills in students emerging from today's schools. In this hands-on session, participants will engage in model staff development activities designed to instruct teachers on two strategies: Six Thinking Hats and Synectics. This instruction builds student thinking and helps participants leave able to reconstruct this model in staff development sessions.
