Message from Colin Seale, thinkLaw’s Founder and CEO

I am filled with gratitude as we dive into the holiday season. So, I want nothing more but to thank you for work you do and for being a part of thinkLaw’s Critical Thinking Revolution! Enjoy your holiday and the exciting resources we are sharing including a new webinar to help teachers discuss controversial topics with students without BECOMING the controversy, pre-ordering your copy of my “Thinking Like a Lawyer” book, and starting your holiday shopping early with some new items from the thinkLaw Swag Shop. Happy Thanksgiving!

Discussing Controversy Without BECOMING the Controversy

Students are often motivated most by issues of fairness and justice. But in a time when adults struggle to engage in civil discussion, how can educators ensure that they can discuss controversial topics in school without it going so sideways that they become the controversy?

This session gives educators practical tools, including:

1) Tips for helping students disagree without being disagreeable

2) Frameworks for productive group discussions

3) Tips for seamlessly integrating these strategies into standards-aligned instruction to avoid backlash, allegations of indoctrination, and other unintended consequences of making learning real for our students.

Thinking Like a Lawyer: A Framework for Teaching Critical Thinking to All Students 

Critical thinking is the essential tool for ensuring that students fulfill their promise. But, in reality, critical thinking is still a luxury good, and students with the greatest potential are too often challenged the least.
