Don’t Worry, Be a Critical Thinker: The Urgent Case for Prioritizing AI (Actual Intellect)

The historic case for valuing education as a society revolves around the notion that knowledge is power. And the prioritized knowledge for those accessing this power has historically been knowing the “what” and the “how to.” But with the proliferation of artificial intelligence creating a present threat that almost any job capable of being reduced to an algorithm is at risk for automation, K-12 teaching and learning must shift its path. In this session, Colin Seale, educator, attorney, author of Thinking Like a Lawyer: A Framework for Teaching Critical Thinking to All Students and Tangible Equity: A Guide for Leveraging Student Identity, Culture, and Power to Unlock Excellence In and Beyond the Classroom, and thinkLaw Founder and CEO, will make the case for prioritizing a different kind of AI: Actual Intellect, as a key priority for today’s learners and provide powerful, but practical tools educators can use to make critical thinking accessible to all students.  

Participants will:
  • Recognize the need for 21st century education to shift from asking “what” and “how to” to “why” and “what if”.
  • Define the habits, skills, and mindsets of critical thinking that prepare students to not just navigate the world as it is, but as it ought to be.
  • Practice powerful, practical tools for embedding critical thinking into all learning environments.
