3. Critical Thinking in the Classroom

Who: Rusty Handlon, Senior Manager, Instruction Faculty, Western Governors University

What they can discuss: Teachers are a great influence on a child’s future, and for that to be a positive influence they need a deep understanding and practical knowledge of learning science, their area of expertise or topic, empathy and observation skills, and ethical critical thinking.

“Our teachers must constantly be scanning the classroom and identifying where each individual is on the learning journey, and in many cases, also in their personal lives. Who is following, and who is not?”
