How does a teacher engage their students to think critically in the classroom? This question cannot be answered unless the teacher knows what critical thinking is. On this webpage you will find various institutions that have defined critical thinking and have created and provide free resources to teachers to help implement critical thinking in the classroom.
Mission Critical, San Jose State University’s Critical Thinking Web Page. This website is a project of the Institute for Teaching and Learning. This site is “creating a “virtual lab,” capable of familiarizing users with the basic concepts of critical thinking in a self paced interactive environment.”

NWArchives, Teaching Thinking Skills. This site is dedicated to the explanation, rationale and history of critical thinking skills.
