Developing critical thinking in students is one of the greatest challenges educators face, particularly when exam systems prize knowledge and procedural skills over originality and critical thinking. Yet, to be able to navigate the debate and research around climate change and sustainability, students need to be able to scrutinize evidence, deconstruct arguments, sift propaganda and make decisions for themselves. How can teachers do more to help students develop these vital skills? Join our guest speakers, all of whom have written about learning myths in education.
