Critical Thinking
Goal III: Gifted Students will develop and practice higher order and critical thinking skills across academic areas.
Why do we teach critical thinking?
Gifted learners master new materials and skills at a faster rate than their peers. One strategy for differentiating their instruction is to structure lessons and units in such a way that these students spend more of their time developing higher order thinking skills, using information they have already mastered to develop a more in-depth understanding of concepts and practicing and applying the skills of critical thinking.
