Critical Thinking in the Age of AI

Thinking still matters.

As artificial intelligence transforms how we work, learn, and solve problems, the ability to think critically has never been more essential or more at risk. With AI capable of producing polished writing and instant analysis, it’s tempting to outsource our thinking. But true innovation, ethical reasoning, and deep understanding still require uniquely human capabilities.

This training equips educators, professionals, and leaders with the tools to foster students’ critical thinking skills. This training doesn’t teach you to fear AI; it empowers you to think better alongside it.

Why It Matters

Generative AI can complete tasks in seconds, but they can’t replicate the human ability to evaluate bias, engage in ethical decision-making, justify choices and reflect on learning, and solve real-world problems.

Without intentional training, we risk turning AI from a thought partner into a thinking substitute. Now more than ever, critical thinking isn’t just a 21st-century skill, it’s essential in a world where AI is everywhere.

What You’ll Learn

In this interactive training, you’ll discover how to:

• Distinguish between AI-enhanced and AI-resilient tasks
  
• Apply frameworks like Bloom’s Taxonomy and Depth of Knowledge to elevate thinking
  
• Critically evaluate assignments to determine if they prioritize critical thinking
• Craft assessments that measure the quality of thought
  
• Help students use AI safely, ethically, and responsibly
  

Who It’s For

This training is designed for K-12 educators, school and district leaders, instructional coaches, and curriculum developers.
