Teaching Students to Enter, Analyze, and Evaluate Points of View
Workshop Description No one can master all points of view, but the ability to enter, analyze, and evaluate a point of view in the contexts that demand such thinking is essential for everyone who would successfully deal with an increasingly complex world. This workshop focuses on teaching students how to think within discipline-based, cultural, or conflicting points of view. (Though the day is divided into four sessions, sometimes a session topic will continue into the following session. Each of the sessions is hands-on, with active participation and guided practice at critical thinking.) Thinking Within Points of View
The Point of View of a Discipline or Subject Matter
Developing the Relationship between Point of View and the Skills of Reading Analytically
Reasoning within Conflicting Points of View
