Our Mission

The Critical Thinking Education Group (CTEG), seeks to promote lifelong critical thinking and learning, with an emphasis on teaching critical thinking in all levels of education.


Toward this objective we:
  • Define critical thinking as the cognitive strategies employed to rationally evaluate information for its potential usefulness and accuracy.
  • Seek to generate interest in learning and applying critical thinking to consumerism, politics, problem solving, and other aspects of life.
  • Compile and maintain a library of resources such as curricula, classroom materials and demonstrations, and references for evidence based teaching of critical thinking.

Plan of Action
  1. Make people aware of the Critical Thinking Education Group and what CTEG can do for them by:

    1. Speaking with like-minded individuals
    2. Giving talks at conferences and meetings
    3. Having a voice in the media
    4. Maintaining a web presence

  2. Determine the needs of teachers for the teaching of critical thinking
  3. Maintain an easily-referenced library of resources
  4. Encourage teachers to form their own grassroots organizations
