This week’s question comes from an educator who prefers to remain anonymous:

How do you go about teaching critical thinking skills?

Boy, this is sure an important issue! And one where we often need to remember William Butler Yeats’ often quoted comment: “Education is not filling a bucket, but lighting a fire.”

Please share your responses in the comments, or, if you prefer, feel free to email them to me.

Anyone whose question is selected for this weekly column can choose one free book from a selection of twelve published by Eye On Education.

You can send questions to me at lferlazzo@epe.org.When you send in your question, let me know if I can use your real name if it’s selected or if you’d prefer remaining anonymous and have a pseudonym in mind.
