About this audiobook
Students and teachers alike face a dilemma: Why think deeply when we can just take a shortcut by googling something? Why read an article when we can learn from a social media headline? If, as educators, we want to encourage our students to value thoughtfulness and to embrace the effort it takes to reach deep understandings, we must model that behavior ourselves. In Never Stop Asking, author Dr. Nathan Lang-Raad shows K-12 teachers how human brains like to take mental shortcuts, known as heuristics, that allow the brain to save energy and perform more efficiently. These heuristics, however, can lead to illogical thinking, cognitive biases, and fallacies that can hinder critical thinking.
With this teacher's must-have guide, you'll: learn about common psychological shortcuts and biases that hinder students and teachers alike; discover the logic and the science behind critical thinking and why it leads to better outcomes; gain strategies to bring critical thinking into the classroom and help students build patience, discipline, and skill; and acknowledge and embrace the digital age in your teaching-without falling victim to its downsides.
This is an engaging and important book for K-12 teachers and instructional coaches. Teacher training programs can also be enhanced by the practical wisdom and easy-to-implement strategies included.
