About this event

Developing Minds 2020: Connect Creative with Critical Thinking in the Classroom

Teaching critical thinking from an early age equips students with transferable skills eagerly sought by modern employers. However, for onward educational and career success, this skill should not be taught in isolation. Connect Creative with Critical Thinking in the Classroom brings teachers and experts to a one-day workshop that explores best practices in teaching critical thinking within the secondary school system. This year our focus is on creativity, exploring interconnections and synergy between creative and critical thinking for practical solutions for BC teachers. During collaborative breakout sessions, provincial education stakeholders and recognized experts will develop comprehensive lesson plans as practical tools for the classroom.

The Faculty of Education and the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) at Simon Fraser University co-present a one-day conference with roundtable discussion on teaching critical thinking in BC secondary schools. Join us to share global best practices and experience on K-12 pedagogy, focusing on creativity and creative thinking in the BC secondary classroom.

Open to teachers and education professionals, Developing Minds gives delegates an opportunity to share and explore key concepts in teaching critical thinking at the secondary and post-secondary levels.

You are invited to join us for our third conference; registration is free and the conference is fully catered, ending with a networking reception and cash bar where you can continue the conversation. Please join us.
