AAGT

In this interactive session, we will demonstrate how real-life legal cases can be used to promote critical thinking, social justice awareness, and discovery-based learning in K-12 students. Educators will leave with tangible strategies to bring complex critical thinking into any classroom through the use of compelling case studies spanning history to today. We will model thinkLaw strategies designed to support students with enhancing their critical thinking skills and dispositions. Participants will also discover how case studies can powerfully deepen social studies and ELA instruction while addressing intellectual empathy. By making critical thinking accessible and relevant for all learners, educators can elevate their practice to prepare students to navigate and lead in an increasingly complex world. Join us on this journey of insight and innovation as we reimagine what gifted education can look like in the next 50 years!
