Critical Thinking Community of Practice

This Community of Practice is for all faculty that are currently assisting students in developing Critical Thinking tools and for those faculty that would like to learn more about it. The Community of Practice meets to share best practices and review current literature in the field. Last year, the community began three projects that are now underway.  You may also be interested to learn more or participate in one of these:

1.     New course development combining Critical Thinking and Sustainability

2.     Writing an International/Interdisciplinary book about Critical Thinking in the Higher Ed Classrooms.

3.     Vista shell to discuss and share online.

If you would like to join, please contact Heather Hurren at heather.hurren@ubc.ca or Janine Hirtz at Janine.hirtz@ubc.ca.

Log in to our Vista shell to participate in discussions, view resources and meeting notes. If you need access, send Patricia Wohlgemuth your CWL ID.
