Schools may need to consider the following if delivering Critical thinking in 2022:
- provision of adequate time for planning and programming
- resourcing, including
- staffing
- new teaching resources and materials
- budget implications to upskill teachers, including casual release.
The Critical thinking course has been developed in consultation with schools that previously delivered the course as a school-developed board endorsed course, however, there have been significant changes to the course content and requirements.
Important information:
- Critical thinking may be delivered as a 100 or 200-hour course
- A set of resources has been published to support the implementation of Critical thinking in schools, including
- course documents
- sample scope and sequences
- assessment advice.
