Why Higher Level Thinking Skills?

Because they work. When kids (and adults) are challenged to think creatively and critically, connections are made, synapses fire, brains grow, new ideas are generated, problems are solved, and kids learn to think in new ways. In addition, practicing creative and critical thinking leads to higher test scores and better grades.

Also, higher level thinking is fun!

This is the place for parents and teachers to find practical, easy-to-implement strategies and activities. Here you will find ideas for games to play, projects, puzzles and brainteasers to try, questions to ask, strategies to implement, as well as, reviews for books, games, and websites, and of course plenty of interesting links to explore.
