AISI Cycle 4 - Engaging all Students Through Critical Inquiry
Critical thinking is not a discrete dimension of an educator's job such as teaching fractions in mathematics or Ancient Greece in social studies. Rather, it is an ethic or way of life that should continuously lived as part of a larger climate or ethos in the classroom. An important dimension of our approach is learning to nurture a classroom community of thinkers where the norms and practices of thoughtful reflection are
reinforced.

Critical thinking involves thinking through problematic situations about what to believe or how to act where the thinker makes reasoned judgements that embody the qualities of a competent thinker.
- Case and Daniels - The Critical Thinking Consortium -
The key to helping students develop as critical thinkers is to nurture competent use of five types of tools of thinking. These categories of toore background knowledge, criteriea for judgement, critical thinking vocabulary, thinking strategies and habits of mind.
