Building critical thinking skills online
The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed new challenges around teaching essential skills such as critical thinking—here are some strategies to help. 
As educators, we
often hear about the importance of teaching critical thinking skills to our
students. What we hear about less, however, are the most effective techniques
for teaching those skills and how teachers can implement them in the
classroom—especially now that schools are forced to provide virtual instruction
during the COVID-19 pandemic.
At Laurel
Springs School, an online K-12 education provider, they have mastered the art of teaching in an online classroom. With a
competency-based model and asynchronous instruction, students at Laurel Springs
must be able to think critically about their lessons and assignments, and the
demonstration of concept and skill mastery is crucial to their success at our
school.
In an online academic environment, the focus on critical thinking skills is amplified. Our learning model fosters independence and self-advocacy with applications in all areas of a student’s life. The earlier students develop these skills, the more well-equipped they are to grow as learners, expanding their knowledge base and making connections both across core content areas and in the world around them.
