To be truly educated today, students need more than knowledge; they need higher-order thinking skills.Critical and creative thinking is required to recognize and counter disinformation, to overcome thinking errors, and to be successful in school and life.To effectively teach these skills, we must start early, when young minds are still forming.While K–3 students are capable of higher-order thinking, most lessons engage only their lower-order thinking.In this comprehensive book based on sound science, Dr. Saifer offers many practical and engaging ways to develop students’ logical, critical, and creative thinking skills within nearly every lesson, in all subject areas, and throughout the day.Teaching Higher-Order Thinking to Young Learners, K–3: How to Develop Sharp Minds for the Disinformation Age is key reading for any early childhood teacher, leader, or parent.
