In order to improve creative and critical thinking, it is inherently important to conduct an

    analysis on one’s current practices. For this assignment, you are to review your current creative

    and critical thinking skills or those of a colleague who agrees to allow you to observe his or her

    classroom. If you are analyzing your skills in your own classroom, you may find it easiest to

    record yourself so you can fully review and analyze yourself. You must utilize an Online Library

    and integrate a minimum of two peer-reviewed journal articles in your reflection.

    Your case study must be a minimum of three full pages in length, and you will compare and

    contrast effective creative and critical thinking. In addition to the three-page minimum, include a

    title page and a references page. You are required to use at least four sources. Your reflection

    should address the areas below.

    1) What characteristics must be present to function as a creative thinker?

    2) How can an effective teacher employ critical thinking within the classroom?

    3) What behaviors did you display that demonstrated creative thinking during your lesson?

    4) What additional strategies could you have employed to embrace critical thinking while

    students asked questions?

    5) Establish a plan for how you will modify your instructional strategies and teaching

    techniques to improve creative and critical thinking the next time you teach this topic.
