Introduction
Critical thinking is not only an essential academic skill for those students who take high-stakes English language exams, it is more crucially a mindset that we all need. However, encouraging critical thinking in the teen classroom can feel like walking through a minefield of potential controversy.
This workshop will include practical strategies on how to generate a positive and collaborative culture in your classroom (F2F and online), with awareness also drawn to safeguarding.
We will consider asynchronous tools that support ongoing critical thinking and finally, participants gather recommendations for tried and tested topics to develop with your teens, and some to avoid!
Presented by Nicky Partridge – Teacher Trainer & Centre Manager @Peartree Languages.

Preparing for the Workshop
Our Masterclass workshops are typically delivered in 90 mins.
At Gallery Teachers, we endorse the philosophy of building on your previous knowledge and experience as opposed to just imparting knowledge on you.
Therefore, in order to prepare you for the webinar and help you activate what you already know about the topic, we will suggest two to four reflective questions for you to consider before you join the event.
You will also be given the opportunity to post your reflections, along with any questions you may already have at the pre-watching stage, to the discussion forum.
The reflective questions, as well as ideas and shared experiences posted to the forum by attendees, will be used in the real-time Q&A session in order to generate an engaging and meaningful discussion, involving the presenter and teachers from around the world.
After the event, the forum discussion will take on a life of its own and teachers will be encouraged to continue posting their experiences, reflections and questions related to the topic of the webinar. So, if you feel strongly about the topic, we will make it possible for you to take the discussion beyond the scheduled workshop and continue sharing your ideas with like-minded teachers and teacher trainers from other countries

Critical Thinking and Positive Collaboration from Teenagers
Excellent workshop. Nicky explained and stablished the basis to guide us onto very useful criteria to be considered in the topics to be used in class. I enjoyed the discussion as it provided a good ground for further and deeper discussions. Thank you very much Nicky. Critical thinking is a real eye oponer, not only for students but for teachers as well.
