Critical Thinking

I see critical thinking skills as a necessity, in our personal and professional lives! However, when I search for information on teaching critical thinking skills, I find mostly secondary level and higher education materials. Young students need to start learning and practicing these skills, for their well-being and their very survival! That led me to begin creating videos and other teaching tools for kindergarten-fifth grade teachers. I will start putting some of those in my blogs, as well as my Welda Consults channel on YouTube and my LinkedIn posts. Here are a few examples, including a poster to display in classrooms:

This is my introductory video to critical thinking for young students. Use it freely to capture students' attention and interest in the topic.

This video is meant to accompany a classroom poster to introduce young students to some of the key elements of critical thinking that they should apply when making decisions.
