Spring 2010 Workshops in Critical Thinking

March 20 and 21st, 2010 at the Berkeley Doubletree Marina, Berkeley, California

Critical thinking concepts and tools are the essential core of all well-conceived instruction. They define the ultimate goals of education. Taking ownership of these goals is the crucial first step in educational reform. The second step consists in contextualizing the goals. This entails creating strategies for bringing critical thinking into the teaching of every subject. We encourage groups to attend.

Professional Development for Faculty and Staff

We live increasingly in a world of accelerating change, intensifying complexity, and ever-increasing danger. We are threatened now not simply by dangers abroad but by our own government at home. We must resist the view that might makes right. We must not take the Bill of Rights for granted. We must reject simplistic messages promoted by the mass media. We must learn to see the world afresh from many points of view, not simply from our own. We must become comfortable routinely rethinking our decisions and reevaluating our priorities. We must learn how to learn from others and abandon the view that we have all the answers. We must take command of our minds, work actively for justice in the world, and focus on values that are universal, values we can share with all rational people of good will. We must cultivate intellectual humility, integrity, perseverance, and empathy in ourselves, and in our students. Disciplined and skilled thinking are no longer luxuries but necessities, no longer add-ons for enrichment programs, but core requirements for every student in every subject on every day.

Richard Paul and Linda Elder, 2004
