There would be no issues about the alleged teaching of CRT (Critical Race Theory) in schools if we focused more on RCT: Raising Critical Thinkers! This session offers concrete protections to gifted equity initiatives by grounding them in critical thinking, NAGC standards, and district strategic plans.
12:30 PM – 12:40 PM
Corner Chat
Speaker: Colin Seale
Our kids are inheriting a world in disarray. Fixing it will require critical thinking skills and compassion. Adults have failed to set a good example for how to listen to understand, speak to be understood, and disagree without being disagreeable. Adults don’t seem to get that doing right is more important than being right. thinkLaw provides high-quality, low-prep curriculum, strategies and resources to help kids claim their own power to disrupt what needs disrupting.
8:00 AM – 9:00 AM
Location: 103-104
Speaker: Colin Seale
The standards are an important part of preparing each student to read, write, and do math on grade-level, but they are not enough to truly prepare students for the world they will face when they leave school. They are necessary, but not sufficient. Students need to approach material in more broad, deep, and complex ways in order to truly master critical thinking across the disciplines. Learn strategies for asking and answering better questions in class can be a simple, but powerfully transformative tool to unlock learning potential and make the “basics” more interesting and engaging.
