CRITICAL AND CREATIVE THINKING IN THE CLASSROOM Differentiation – Planning for Differentiation Feedback – To support learning Critical Thinking Frameworks are used across curriculum areas to frame thinking. Critical Thinking – Explicitly taught in all KLAs Critical thinking is at the core of most intellectual activity that involves students learning to recognise or develop an argument, use evidence in support of that argument, draw reasoned conclusions, and use information to solve problems. Creative thinking involves students learning to generate and apply new ideas in specific contexts, seeing existing situations in a new way, identifying alternative explanations, and seeing or making new links that generate a positive outcome.
