When a critical thinking question is carefully crafted, you can get students to explore learning outcomes while having fun and being engaged in their learning at the same time.

What You’ll Learn: classroom setup and management strategies, how to design challenges that align with learning outcomes, the five essential elements of a successful critical thinking challenge, and seven ready-made challenge sets with materials and lesson plans.
