2023 Critical Thinking Academy

The Academy will entail three days of interactive workshops that will enhance your understanding of critical thinking and how to best foster it in your courses and classes, as well as at your institutions.

The Academy will be held in a retreat setting in beautiful Northwest Arkansas, near renowned Crystal Bridges Museum and world-class biking trails. Participants will stay in local hotels and rentals of their choosing.

This Academy is designed for teachers, faculty, and administrators, as well as government, business, and military trainers and leaders working to bring substantive critical thinking across their respective institutions, or into specific departments or divisions.

The advanced sessions are for those who have been studying in the Paul-Elder Approach to Critical Thinking, and who want to advance their understandings of the theory and application of critical thinking for use in their teaching and work.

Don’t miss this opportunity to work with international authorities on critical thinking in a small, retreat setting.
