Acknowledging Excellence
One of the highlights of The Critical Thinking Consortium’s Annual General Meeting is the presentation of the awards of excellence to worthy recipients nominated by partners, individual members, and TC² staff. Each spring, we look forward to hearing about educators who have made a commitment to nurturing thinking and have shown us how they have thoughtfully applied our framework and resources to support their students.
