A Critical Thinking Classroom
TeachThought supports educators with practical, evidence-based strategies to promote literacy and critical thinking in every classroom.
Since 2012, TeachThought has worked to rethink teaching and learning through a lens of critical thinking, literacy, and innovation. We provide K–12 and post-secondary educators — including teachers, administrators, and researchers — with tools and ideas to enrich practice and improve student outcomes.
