"'Teaching Students to Use Criteria' clearly explains the importance of criteria in critical thinking. When students are invited to respond to critical questions, criteria enable them to carefully weigh the options and make reasoned judgments about those questions. The resource provides teachers with practical tools and strategies to guide students in the use of criteria, as well as numerous examples that range across grade levels and subject areas. Practical templates that teachers can use and adapt are included with this Quick Guide and available as modifiable files online."-- Provided by publisher.
