\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe modern K-12 teacher's must-have guide to teach students how to ask questions, weigh the evidence, and think critically and independently\u003c/b\u003e \u003cp\u003eStudents 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 \u003ci\u003eNever Stop Asking\u003c/i\u003e, author Dr. Nathan Lang-Raad shows K-12 teachers how human brains like to take mental shortcuts, known as \u003ci\u003eheuristics\u003c/i\u003e, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNever Stop Asking: Teaching Students to be Better Critical Thinkers \u003c/i\u003eis the armor we need to defend ourselves and our students against the all-too-tempting shortcuts that the digital age has to offer, employing strategies to consistently and explicitly support teaching critical thinking and weaving it into the everyday landscape of your classroom. Let\u0026rsquo;s ensure that the students of today will be the skilled thinkers of tomorrow. \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearn about common psychological shortcuts and biases that hinder students and teachers alike\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscover the logic and the science behind critical thinking and why it leads to better outcomes\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGain strategies to bring critical thinking into the classroom and help students build patience, discipline, and skill\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAcknowledge and embrace the digital age in your teaching--without falling victim to its downsides\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is an engaging and important book for K-12 teachers and instructional coaches.
