C P R A WAY OF PERSEVERING

© Nice-Webb

• Critical Thinking is “Reflective and Recursive”

• Critical Thinkers “recognize the need to struggle with confusion and unsettled questions over time in order to achieve deeper understanding and insight.”

• Students “need to gain insight into the need for intellectual perseverance.”

How might we teach to educate, equip, and empower our students to persist from confusion to resolution?

New Heart for Teaching & Learning

New Breath of Fresh Air where Questions, Not Answers, are the Primary Focus

New Strategies That Engages Minds

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) consists of the use of chest compressions and artificial ventilation to maintain circulatory flow and oxygenation during cardiac arrest.

Why Confusion? Research --- math anxiety - linked to poor math performance

First Priority --- build confidence - provide students confidence-building exercises that appear challenging but ensure success

Gradually, continually, develop a Growing Resiliency

Create a Classroom Environment of Respect & freedom to fail

Intentionally seek to replace harmful confusion with inquisitiveness

aGAP 2016-2017 Project Invitation aGAP – Advancing Global Awareness Possibilities

October – December 2016 How might we make positive changes in our local environment?

Let’s discuss in our own classes several areas of concern regarding our local environment that we think we may be able to make some positive difference.

Then, let’s come together and share our ideas, help each other generate possible solutions, and encourage one another to take some action to make a difference.

February – May 2017 How have we been shaped by our ‘history’? In what ways should we shape ‘ourstory’ in the next fifty years?

Let us examine how our personal and cultural identity is shaped by our environment and how our identity might be shaping the world we live in. Then, let’s engage in a Cultural Exchange where we seek to better understand who we are in light of our own personal, national and world history. As we explore significant changes over time, throughout our world history, let us develop together a few essential questions.

Then, let’s come together in international teams to research, analyze, reflect, and decide how we may engage in changing possibilities for our present and future reality together. aGAPworld@gmail.com

Confusion

What’s one area right now that your students or staff are confused about or stuck in or desire/need to grow into? How is this evident?

Persistence

How might you help them move from Confusion to Resolution? What questions might guide your path?

Resolution

What do people need to know? How will they come to know it? When will it be evident that they know it? Why does it matter?

Persevere in Problem-Solving
