The Critical Skills Classroom is based on four key educational models: collaborative learning, experiential learning, problem-based learning and standards-driven learning.The Critical Skills Classroom Immersion is an intensive course to introduce participating educators to all the dimensions of the Critical Skills Classroom. With the guidance and leadership of experienced, practicing K-12 teachers, participants experience the model as students, immersed in the philosophy and structures. 

Critical Skills Classroom builds skills in:
  • developing the classroom as a collaborative, problem-solving community
  • using the experiential learning cycle to support student learning
  • setting and maintaining standards for quality work & work processes
  • targeting 21st Century skills alongside the curriculum
  • designing & facilitating rigorous, engaging problem-based lessons 
  • using simple performance-based assessment tools
  • planning and structuring student exhibitions of learning, and
  • guiding student reflection and debriefing processes

"The Critical Skills Classroom will help teachers design interdisciplinary learning experiences that target speaking and listening along with higher order thinking skills."
