Critical Thinking in K-12 Schools and Districts

Critical thinking is the key to educational success.

  • This is not news to K-12 educators or parents. But did you know that students’ scores in critical thinking and problem solving are strongly related to end of year standardized test scores? K-12 students possessing strength in critical thinking are better equipped to solve problems, to understand and to integrate content material, and to achieve in school. And that achievement prepares them for tomorrow.

How confident are you that K-12 students are developing the thinking they will need to be successful academically and in their future lives?

  • Engaging problems and making decisions using critical thinking involves both skills and habits of mind.  That’s why K-12 schools and academies of all kinds — independent, charter, public, private — are now gathering solid assessment evidence on this key learning outcome.
  • Your confidence in student’s growth and achievement depends on the quality of the evidence. And that depends on the quality of the measurement tool.
