How can faculty and staff be involved in improving students’ critical thinking skills at Meredith?
Professional development is an important component of the program. Several opportunities will be offered to strengthen the tools and skills we all need to improve students’ critical thinking skills and to develop an engaged College community. These opportunities will include a Summer Critical Thinking Institute (3 days) and monthly, half-day professional development seminars (3 per semester) that will offer foundation, intermediate and advanced critical thinking skills development. We will also offer professional learning communities (Delta Learning Communities) for those focusing on a particular facet of the program. Other opportunities involve participating at some level of the PRISM Experience.
