Critical Thinking for Educators

Presentation

Thinking is the ultimate human resource. The quality of our life depends entirely on the
quality of our thinking. This applies on personal, community and world levels. Creative
thinking is the ability to consider something in a new way. But the word “creativity” is much
too broad and much too vague and sometimes it covers artistic expressions that have little to
do with changing perceptions and concepts.

Creative Thinking techniques are processes by which we focus attention, escape the confines
of the current situation and generate connections to keep the mind moving. Fundamentally it
is a change in direction in your thinking and the generation of new ideas. Children do this
naturally but many adults find this process difficult and challenging. Changing old habits and
prejudices is a key factor in being able to think creatively.

Let’s explore creative thinking for inclusion and challenge educators to use it in their work.
