Rote Memorization & Spoon-fed Learning Are No Longer Acceptable For 21st Century Education.
thinkLaw exists to create a world where critical thinking is no longer a luxury good. Critical thinking is the precursor to innovation, a key to college and career readiness and has been linked to more positive life outcomes.
It’s time for a critical thinking revolution. Our award-winning, standards-aligned curriculum will help you unleash the critical thinking potential of all your students.
thinkLaw Curriculum Is:
thinkLaw lessons use real-life legal cases for grades 3-12, and fairy tales & nursery rhymes for grades K-2 (because there are a lot of shady characters in children’s stories).
Standards-aligned curricular materials for Common Core and TEKS, with supplemental parent and family resources available in Spanish.
thinkLaw’s lessons give kids engaging, real-world problems to solve, learning to ask not just “what” and “how” but “why” and “what if”.
thinkLaw lessons are designed to take 10-20 minutes of prep time, and can be adapted to fit into whatever class time you have.
Teachers learn to embed critical thinking instructional strategies into your existing curriculum in a way that doesn’t feel like “one more thing”.
thinkLaw’s Partner Success team offers virtual onboardings and ongoing implementation support to help you seamlessly embed thinkLaw into the school day.

How Schools Are Using thinkLaw
thinkLaw lessons can be taught as a regular, weekly block, as a supplementary resource, or even in those random, hard-to-plan-for spaces like right before a holiday or right after testing season. Our Partner Success team will work with you to find the easiest places to implement thinkLaw across your department, campus, or district.
